Ali Dizaei; the Shahrokh Mireskandari connection

Now, here's a little bugger.
Shahrokh Mireskandari (or Dr Shahrokh 'Sean' Mireskandari BSc (Hons), MA (Hons) JD (Hons) as he likes to style himself) was pretty closely involved with Commander Ali Ba Ba.
In September 2008, Dizaei was suspended for, among other things, his allegedly advising a defence team in the prosecution of an East European woman who was charged with killing a cyclist in a hit and run accident.
The lawyer representing this woman was Shahrokh Mireskandari.
In 2007, the lawyer was a guest at Dizaei's wedding (well, one of them) as was this East European woman.
As far as I can gather, this woman was on bail for the alleged offence.
And Dizaei, a top cop, had invited her to his wedding!
It was alleged, in the Daily Mail, that Dizaei was briefing the defence team on how to pick holes in the prosecution's case, which was being prepared by his colleagues in the Met.
The defendant's sister later said "'Sean told us that Dizaei would be a consultant and would guide us about the police work and whether they were right or not... whether they had done something illegal.' (Sean is another of the dodgy brief's names).
Anyway, back to the dodgy brief.
As can be seen in the opening lines, he has a pretty impressive string of titles, degrees etc.
Except they are all bogus!
He does have a long experience of the law though, beginning with his conviction in Los Angeles in 1991 for operating a telephone marketing scam.
Read this item in the Daily Mail from 2008:

This article also covers how the Solicitors Regulation Authority investigated this dodgy brief and discovered how he acquired the string of letters after his name.
He claimed to obtained a law degree at the American University of Hawaii. This was shut down by the courts in Hawaii in 2005, with the owner, Hassan Safavi under investigation.
Hassan Safavi? Another bloody Anglo-Iranian!
The dodgy brief, when questioned, refused to disclose where else he may have obtained his "law degrees".
Eventually, at the end of their investigations, the dodgy brief's law firm, Dean & Dean, was shut down by the SRA.
Guess what his next move was? He was, in 2009, suing the SRA and the Law Society for "race & religious discrimination". I don't know if this has been resolved at this time but the SRA web site still carries the notice of "Intervention" which closed him down.
I don't know the full extent of his case load over the years he has been in business here but I can say that an awful lot of his work seems to have involved the Met's Black Police Association. He appears to have been central to a number of high profile cases, generally encouraging anyone of an Asian background to sue the police for "discrimination".
Ali Dizaei; enough said about that piece of work!
Tariq Ghaffour; having finished his 30 years in the force, he decided he wanted to be the El Supremo at the Olympics in London in 2012. At the instigation of Dr Dodgy Brief, he accused Sir Ian Blair of having reneged on a promise to give him this plum job. It had been made very clear from a long time before this that the government would be taking charge of this, not the Met Police. It didn't stop the accusation of racism and the Met (quite wrongly and irresponsibly) paying out £300,000 as compensation for the "hurt he had felt". On top of that, this bloke goes away with a pension-related lump sum of £525,000 and an annual pension of £85,000.
It seems this deal went through in order to smooth the handover from Sir Ian Blair to Sir Paul Stephenson as Commissioner. Bloody spineless and irresponsible!
Commander Shabir Hussain; he sued the Met Police for ....well you know very well what for.
He claims he was overlooked for promotion in 2006. It transpires that, during the selection process he was one of 7 candidates. One other candidate scored the same as Hussain, the others all scored higher. Nobody scored lower. He didn't get the job. Now, that was in 2006. What happened between 2006 and the date the spurious claim went to a tribunal in 2008? No idea but probably Dr Dodgy Brief became involved.
He lost his case.
Yasmin Rehman; This woman was a senior manager with responsibility for "promoting racial and religious diversity" within the Met Police. In 2008, she lodged a claim of racial discrimination, making all manner of outlandish allegations. In December of that year, she withdrew the allegations and has since quit the Met. (probably a fair indication there was nothing to her claims). Throughout this fiasco, she was advised by the MBPA. This organisation often employed our friend Dr. Dodgy Brief; I wonder what, if any, involvement he had in this trumped up nonsense?
It goes on and on, usually with this fraud somewhere in the background, apparently orchestrating things.
Have a listen to him attacking Sir Ian Blair in a radio interview in 2007:

Last heard of, this numty was suing the Solicitors Regulation Authority for £10million.
Again, last heard of, there were rumours he had legged it to the USA.
Nice!
