The judiciary is acting as if this were a trivial incident: but it wasn’t a harmless perpetrator who escaped the control of Minister Alma Zadic (Greens), but a serious criminal Chechen (35) – the dangerous Islamist was imprisoned for ten years in the high-security prison in Krems-Stein (photo) after a money transporter robbery.
The Chechen’s escape is a scandal in itself. The prisoner was escorted out of the prison for an X-ray due to knee problems. Since then, he has disappeared completely. He simply marched out of the doctor’s surgery – and disappeared. The fact that the justice system has not yet launched a comprehensive Austria-wide manhunt with photos of the perpetrator can certainly be seen as a security scandal.
The population should be urgently warned about the escaped prisoner, who is considered to be extremely dangerous: it is no coincidence that he is in Krems-Stein, where Austria’s serious criminals such as the Amstetten incest father Josef F. are held. The Chechen is serving his sentence for aggravated armed robbery, grievous bodily harm, resisting public authority and illegal possession of weapons.
Together with two accomplices, he robbed a money transporter in Wels on the 12th of August 2019. The trio intercepted two cash messengers coming out of a bank branch with suitcases in the morning in a car park. They beat one of the cash carriers with a pistol and also injured her colleague. But when they failed to break into the cash boxes, they fled.
On the way, they changed their getaway vehicle and set fire to the first one. They finally crashed the second one and were caught. In February 2020, two Chechens stood trial for the robbery; the third accomplice was unknown until then. In the course of the investigation, it emerged that the Chechen, who is now on the run, was not an unknown person who must have been on the radar of state security at least some of the time. He had been targeted in Tyrol as a radical Islamist who had proudly presented himself on videos as a supporter of the Islamic State (IS) and posed in front of a relevant Salafist flag.
The fact that 200 police officers with search dogs, a helicopter crew and drone pilots searched for him for hours after his escape shows just how dangerous the Chechen is considered to be. The domestic intelligence service was also involved. The high-risk prisoner used to be a martial artist and active as a “cage fighter”.

The United Nations in 2050 will both sanction and enforce the invasions of countries that go against the worldwide “green” agenda, according to predictions aired on Ireland’s state-funded broadcaster RTÉ.
This alarming vision of the future was put forward in the Tomorrow Tonight docu-drama starring Mark Little, a former news broadcaster who has since ventured into the realms of Big Tech and the war against “disinformation”.
In the scripted programme, the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council both agree to mandate a series of new climate restrictions worldwide.
Those nations that do not obey the new rules face being invaded by the UN’s so-called “Green Helmets”.
In the show, the measure is described as being the brainchild of Greta Thunberg – who is Sweden’s prime minister at this point. The character states that invading such “rogue” foreign countries is necessary to achieve the West’s green agenda.
“The UN has been doing peace enforcement for almost a century,” the fictional Swedish leader tells reporters during the documentary.
“Climate action is the greatest threat to peace and security in history. It’s about time the United Nations took itself seriously and enforced climate action.
“That means the difference between a harsher world, and an uninhabitable one. I think that is worth fighting for.”
The programme also forecasts that many current world leaders will end up behind bars for their inaction on climate change today. The show refers to an unnamed French president being convicted for unmentioned wrongdoings at the fictional “International Court for Climate Crime”.
While the docu-drama was received well by some green activists in Ireland, others in the country have ridiculed the production.
“I’d rather gouge my eyes out than watch another RTÉ climate catastrophising doc,” prominent broadcaster Niall Boylan wrote online.
Even some of Ireland’s more progressive media outlets panned the programme, with the often left-leaning Irish Timesdescribing the show as “a great glowing dumpster fire”.
That review looked charitable next to the one published by the Irish Independent, which lambasted Tomorrow Tonight as “amateurish, smug and possibly the worst TV programme anyone has ever made”.
The backlash could not come at a worse time for RTÉ, which is already under pressure from the Irish Government for alleged overspending on its biggest personalities.
Reduxx has learned that a trans-identified male currently working for the Berlin police force has been posting fetish content online, some of which involve themes of transitioning and sexualizing children. Ria Cybill Geyer, 60 years old and born Reiner Geyer, also has led LGBTQ workshops at schools.
On November 4, Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung (MAZ) magazine published a sympathetic interview with Geyer on the topic of “coming out” as a trans-identified male at his workplace. While speaking with the outlet, Geyer remarked that he felt he had been “bullied” by female co-workers who objected to him using the women’s restroom.
“With the boys, there was hardly any trouble, just one of the older colleagues became invasive,” he said. “Women are more into bullying. They had a problem when I went to the ladies’ bathroom and the usual prejudices manifested.”
This is not the first time Geyer has received a sympathetic media platform.
In 2020, he spoke with RTL and described how he was “overly masculine” before he began to claim a female identity. The outlet revealed that Geyer had previously been married three times, and quoted him as commenting, “but there is only one queen in the castle – it wasn’t my wives.” Geyer revealed his desire to dress in women’s clothing publicly for the first time in 2018 when he attended a company Oktoberfest celebration in a dirndl.
Since declaring a transgender status, Geyer, now 60, has also been involved in “diversity” workshops conducted within schools. As Geyer discussed in a recent debate for Klartext, currently “SCHLAU workshops” are held with youth to “promote the acceptance of diversity” and receive funding from the Ministry for Children, Youth, Family, Equality, Flight and Integration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
According to the SCHLAU NRW website, workshops consist of a team of volunteers who visit school classes and talk about “realities of life and biographies, one’s own coming out, experiences of discrimination as well as prejudices and role models.” In 2019, more than 12,500 young people took part in SCHLAU workshops across 17 locations.
On audio interview of Geyer conducted by schoolchildren in 2021 can be found on the website for the Leibniz Gymnasium, a school in Berlin, produced by 9th grade students for an assignment called “The Queero Project,” a portmanteau of “queer hero.”
During the course of the conversation, Geyer discusses how he had been privately crossdressing at home in the years leading up to announcing his new identity at work. He also briefly mentions complaints made by his female colleagues when he would enter the women’s restrooms and showers.
Disturbingly, Reduxx has discovered that Geyer has been sharing fetish content on his personal Pinterest board, and that some of the images include themes of forcibly “feminizing” young boys. Geyer’s activity on the platform shows a history of consuming sissification, BDSM, and erotic crossdressing content before his decision to identify as transgender.
In an album titled “Femme-Me-Ly,” Geyer has shared photos of himself in high heels and women’s lingerie and underwear. Tags used by Geyer include “cute girls,” “crossdressers,” “sexy,” “stay at home mom” and “transgender.” Other images suggest that Geyer had been meeting up with men who participate in transvestic fetishism at a cafe before he stated that he identified as a woman at his workplace.
In another album called “Fetishes,” Geyer has saved images relating to BDSM activities. Some of the images are from Heavy Rubber, a fetish website featuring photos primarily of women in latex.
But perhaps most alarming are the images saved to Geyer’s Pinterest board which depict young boys dressed in women’s underwear and alternatively a French maid uniform. These images depict content created for a fetish subculture known as “forced feminization,” wherein a man is transformed into a woman via hormones, lingerie, or certain sexual acts.
Two images shared by Geyer featuring depictions of young boys worked into sexual “sissy” content.
One of the first accounts followed by Geyer on Pinterest, Sabine Satin, shares a variety of images known as “sissy captions,” featuring photos of young women in lingerie, sometimes bound and gagged and appearing to be in pain, with sexual text displayed alongside the images.
“Become this girl. Tell me how it feels,” reads one caption. Another depicts a young woman wearing a collar and a leash and says “own me, take me, use me.”
In addition to his role as a police officer, Geyer boasts several other titles connected to the government and trans activism. He has been appointed as a representative for the Social Democrats party in Brandenburg, and in this capacity, works with law enforcement as an “SPDqueer” officer.
According to its website, SPDqueer encourages reporting of “hate crimes” and advocates for amending the constitution, or Basic Law, to incorporate sex self-identification. SPDqueer also campaigns for children to be allowed to decide to initiate a “transition,” without parental consent, from the age of seven years old. The draft for the self-determination bill currently sets the age at 14.
Hallo LV Berlin @GdPHauptstadt! Schon fast peinlich, wenn die Landespolizei, die als einzige seit 30(!) Jahren eine Stelle für LSBTI betreibt und die Mehrheit der Kollegen in der GdP hat, das nicht als erstes macht! Als erste Trans*Personalrätin für die GdP erwarte ich Vollzug! https://t.co/dFfGOUj329
Geyer is also a representative for the Berlin-Brandenburg working group DGTI (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Transidentität und Intersexualität) and is listed on the group’s official registration with the government. DGTI has been at the center of a controversy for its connections to a BDSM sex club. Jörg “JC” Gleisenberg and spouse Franziska “Franny” Gleisenberg are the proprietors of a BDSM club called Das Haus Roissy, which is listed at the same address as their home. Haus Roissy sells fetish gear and organizes workshops to “enlighten” the public on BDSM practices.
In his official capacity with law enforcement, Geyer has shared DGTI materials to a public Facebook group for the Berlin-Brandenburg police force.
The Gleisenbergs’ home-run BDSM club, Das Haus Roissy, cooperates with state institutions such as the “Queeres Netzwerk Bayern” (Queer Network Bavaria). It is also officially recognized as a representative of DGTI and as a counseling center for transsexual children and young people. The Gleisenbergs promote the medical “transitioning” of young children while using their son as an example, having administered puberty-blocking drugs to the boy and calling him by the feminine name Juliana.
Not a single political guest to feature on one of the Netherlands’ most-watched late-night talk shows in the lead-up to Wednesday’s general election has come from the country’s two largest right-wing parties, according to data published by an unofficial TV watchdog.
The “Diversity Watch” organization, which claims to “monitor political diversity on talk shows” published on Thursday the number of guests to have been invited onto Op1, a regular talk show on the Dutch public broadcaster NPO, since the fall of the Dutch government back in July.
Based on its findings, politicians affiliated with the governing People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) had been on the show the most ahead of next week’s election, featuring 21 times.
The party now led by Turkish-born Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius was followed by the social liberal Democrats 66, one of the VVD’s former coalition partners, on 16 appearances.
Vanavond is de meest uitgenodigde partijleider sinds de val van het kabinet maar weer eens bij @op1npo.
U kunt zijn naam zelf opzoeken; u zult niet verrast zijn.
The Labor-Green alliance PvdA-GL led by Frans Timmermans, the former EU commissioner who resigned from his post in Brussels to have a stab at becoming Dutch prime minister, came in third with its politicians featuring 13 times on the program.
The main parties were followed by the centrist Christian Union with 12 appearances, the agrarian populist BoerBurgerBeweging with ten, and the European federalist Volt party with eight.
A notable absence from the show’s guestlist is any representation at all from two of the country’s largest right-wing political parties, namely Thierry Baudet’s Forum for Democracy (FvD) and Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV).
No guests have been featured either from the right-wing BVNL party led by Dutch MP and former member of the VVD, Wybren van Haga.
This is despite Wilders’ PVV being due to become the Netherlands’ fourth-largest party, according to the latest polls. The right-wing group has leaped to 13 percent of the vote share just days before the Dutch electorate casts its vote, giving the party a real hope of entering government.
Meanwhile, Thierry Baudet’s FvD has 3 percent of the vote, polling at the same level as Volt and just one percentage point behind the Labor Party.
Last week, the talk show held a debate on healthcare and featured several high-profile candidates from the major political parties to outline their policies. According to Fleur Agema, the healthcare spokesperson for the PVV, the show claimed that no one from her party wanted to attend the debate, yet she revealed on social media that she was never extended an invitation.
“The accusation was that no politicians had come. I wasn’t asked. I have an almost empty campaign agenda,” she wrote on X.
Commenting on Diversity Watch’s findings, Baudet described the invitation policy of the mainstream media as “completely crazy,” accusing the Dutch establishment media of wheeling in the “same cartel. Just propaganda.”
“It is truly incredible, the extent to which FvD is excluded from normal participation in programs in the mainstream media. No radio for us, no TV, not on commercial channels, not on public channels, not in the newspapers, not in the magazines, not invited to debates… nothing,” he told followers on X.
“There can only be one conclusion: We are the only opposition party in the Netherlands,” he added.
Both Wilders and Baudet have considerable social media followings — 1.1 million and 319,000 followers on X respectively — and rely on using these outlets to bypass the mainstream media intent on stifling their message and communicate directly with the electorate.
A center-right to right-wing government is a distinct possibility following the election taking place on Nov. 22 with conservatives at the very least expected to increase their representation in the parliament.
In the coverage of the Presidential elections in Argentina, it never ceases to amaze an impartial observer how the western MSM dedicates itself to picture the western-friendly candidate as a ‘menace’.
Meanwhile, this same western MSM treats the leftist pro-China candidate who destroyed the country’s economy and put 40% of citizens below poverty line as the ‘safe choice’.
Anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei shot to fame in TV with his fiery criticism of Argentina’s traditional political elite.
Now, as presidential election frontrunner, Milei was chosen by ‘mainstream conservatives’ as the only solution for the veritable dumpster fire that Argentina became.
Without a candidate in the second round of voting, the center-right chose the sensible option of supporting Milei, in a move that could push him over the line in Sunday’s run-off vote against failed economy minister Sergio Massa.

The media had an exceptionally disingenuous week protecting the bad guys.
By now, we’ve probably all seen the video that, at the time, unwittingly recorded hockey player Adam Johnson’s dying moments—on October 28th, Johnson was slashed across the neck by an opponent’s skate during a game and bled out on the ice.
Immediately, the narrative pushed by the media and the establishment was that what happened was a tragic and “freak” accident… but Matt Petgrave, the player wearing the skates that slit Johnson’s throat, has a history of dirty play, racking up “the most penalty minutes” in the 2022–2023 season. And, if you did watch the video, it sure looks like an intentional skated “kung-fu” kick to Johnson’s throat.
Now though, there’s been a development; according to the media police have arrested “a man” in connection with Johnson’s death.
Screenshot of headlines regarding the arrest.
A man?? What man? Well, we don’t know, because the cops aren’t saying, and the investigative journalists who so quickly determined the incident a freak accident, haven’t yet been able to identify the “man” taken into custody.
So why was the immediate response of the media to launch a PR campaign on behalf of Petgrave, and then fail to identify the “man” arrested? Because as we all know, the media reliably protects the bad guys.
Exhibit Two, from CNN:
Arrest made in death of Jewish protester who fell and hit his head
A 50-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a Jewish protester who fell and hit his head during Israel-Hamas protests in Southern California earlier this month, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Thursday.
The story is of course about Paul Kessler, the LA man counter-protesting a pro-Hamas demonstration who was reportedly bashed over the head with a megaphone and assaulted before he “fell and hit his head.”
If the media has taught us anything, it’s that “villain privilege” is a thing, and if you’re a bad guy, then you can count on the media to be right there for you to protect you at all costs.
A female boxer withdrew from a provincial championship in Quebec after learning that her opponent was biologically male, leading to him winning the competition by default. Dr. Katia Bissonnette of Saguenay says she was matched against transgender fighter Mya Walmsley with no notice.
The 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship took place on October 27 and 29 in Victoriaville, Quebec, hosted by the Quebec Boxing Federation in collaboration with the KO-96 boxing club. But the tournament, which intended to give novices the opportunity to qualify for the Canadian Championship in December, attracted controversy after Bisonnette announced her withdrawal.
Speaking to Reduxx, Bissonnette, who works as a psychologist in Jonquière, explains that she learned Walmsley was male one hour before she was set to step in the ring.
“I came down from my hotel room to head towards the room where all the boxers were warming up. My coach suddenly took me aside and told me he received information by text message, which he had then validated, that my opponent was not a woman by birth. We did not have any other additional information,” she says.
While information on Walmsley is limited, Bissonnette says he has absolutely no history fighting against women in Canadian tournaments, suggesting his identification into women’s sport was recent. Walmsley is originally from Australia, but moved to Canada around 2 years ago to attend Concordia University.
“[Walmsley] would have boxed as a man in Australia,” Bissonnette says. “In Quebec, on his file, it is mentioned that he had 0 fights as a woman.”
Following Bissonnette’s withdrawal, Walmsley issued a statement to the press accusing her of “outing” him and warning that similar actions would have a negative impact on female athletes.
“Rather than turning to me, my coach or the Quebec Olympic Boxing Federation for more information, she decided to turn directly to the media to out me,” wrote Walmsley. “This kind of behavior puts athletes at risk of being excluded or receiving personal attacks based on hearsay … I am afraid that this type of accusation could eventually be used to delegitimize athletes in the women’s category, and justify arbitrary and invasive regulations.”
Walmsley went on to assert that the best policy for gender self-identification in sport was for athletes to “trust” each other, and defer to coaches and policies in assumption that matches were made fairly.
But Bissonnette rejects Walmsley’s apparent call for handshake-based policies, noting that even under established guidelines it was unclear how he had been allowed to enter the match.
“The rule issued from Boxing Canada to the Quebec Boxing Federation was not to reveal that the opponent was transsexual, so that the latter would not be discriminated against. However, after confirmation, this policy only applies when a sex change has taken place before puberty,” she explains, noting that because Walmsley is a foreign national, his transition history is entirely unclear.
Following Bissonnette’s withdrawal, the competition was unable to find another woman in the super welterweight category (165lbs) to match against Walmsley, and he won by default.
The Quebec Boxing Federation was reportedly aware of Walmsley’s biological sex, but justified the fight by stating they had chosen an appropriate referee for the match. Ultimately, Bissonnette says her decision to withdraw came down to safety.
Bissonnette goes on to note that women’s participation in combat sports is relatively recent, but may not last much longer if females are continuously paired up to fight males.
“Women shouldn’t have to bear the physical and psychological risks brought by a man’s decisions regarding his personal life and identity,” she continues. “There should be two categories: biological male and female.”
Bissonnette’s decision to refuse to fight Walmsley comes on the heels of several instances of similar protests by women across the sporting world.
As previously reported by Reduxx, women abandoned a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament in Georgia last month in protest of the participation of multiple trans-identified males. As a result, one of the men took home four gold medals in the women’s category, and, in one of the divisions, only males were on the winner’s podium.
Female martial artists Jayden Alexander and Ansleigh Wilk spoke out against the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) for their gender self-identification policy, sparking a wildfire of backlash that ultimately resulted in NAGA fully segregating the divisions based on biological sex with “no exceptions.”
🚨BREAKING🚨
In response to Reduxx's exclusive report yesterday, the North American Grappling Association has issued a full policy revision.
Trans-identified males will now have to compete in the men's category.
On November 13, a female pool player in England caused similar controversy after walking away from the table during a tournament in Wales in apparent protest of a trans-identified male who was competing.

As Spain grapples with an unprecedented political crisis, Brussels still hasn’t decided where to stand. Apart from the major protests in every city, the country can do nothing but watch helplessly as the socialists get away with their ‘coup d’etat’ by forming a ‘Frankenstein’ coalition with criminals, disregarding everything the law—and even the constitution—stands for.
The EU institutions seem equally helpless, but for different reasons. Brussels has been so invested in its self-serving narrative that rule of law violations can only happen on one side of the political spectrum that when a socialist party moves against the law, their program crashes. The criminality of how the Sánchez government is clinging to power is obvious to the millions of Spaniards taking to the streets, but not for the rest of Europe. That is why raising awareness is so important, and as a common objective, it must bring everyone together on the Spanish Right.
A recent event in Brussels attempted to do just that. Organized by the Foundation for a Civic Hungary and moderated by Fidesz MEP Enikő Győri, Wednesday’s panel discussion dived into Spain’s political nightmare with two MEPs from opposing factions of the Spanish Right: Javier Zarzalejos (PP/EPP) and Hermann Tertsch (VOX/ECR).
Coup d’etat in progress
“What is happening in Spain is easy to explain but very hard to understand,” Zarzalejos began, saying how difficult it is to grasp the essence of this unholy alliance between socialists and separatist nationalist forces—especially when Sánchez’ three main coalition partners are all led by people who have been convicted for terrorism and embezzlement of public funds or escaped Spanish justice after illegally declaring independence.
None of that matters for the socialists, who tweak the constitution as they see fit, even giving more power to the separatists in Catalonia and the Basque Country, only to see their government have another term at the helm of the country.
“It’s a coup d’etat in the sense that they are delegitimizing the whole political system and the constitutional order,” Tertsch added, calling it a complete “break-up of the country’s legal system,” with Madrid no longer having sovereignty in the separatist regions.
A takeover planned for decades
Both MEPs agreed that the current crisis did not start with the amnesty or even Catalonia’s unconstitutional referendum in 2017.
Instead, it began with former socialist Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero coming into government in 2004 with “a plan of a permanent coalition [between socialists and separatists] to expel conservatives from power forever,” Tertsch said. The Socialist Party’s (PSOE) grand strategy was interrupted by the financial crisis in 2008, but the right-wing government that followed failed to undo the damage Zapatero caused to the constitutional order during his term, so Sánchez could pick up the plan where he left it, taking it to the next level, as Zarzalejos explained.
“What we have now is exactly what Zapatero wanted.” Tertsch went on:
A permanent coalition that is anti-Spanish and anti-national. They prefer not to have a Spain but are very much in favor of having a divided nation where they can rule uncontested.
These mafia-style tactics are plucked from the textbooks of the South American far-Left, the MEPs agreed, as the PSOE has enormous Latin American communist connections, with only the tip of the iceberg having been publicly disclosed. But what’s happening now can be clearly described by the hundred-year-old communist motto, Tertsch added,
For Spain to be red, Spain needs to be broken.
Where did the Right go wrong?
Zarzalejos thinks the problem with the center-right all over Europe is that it puts too much trust in managing their countries and does not pay attention to the political games played beneath the surface. “We think that good economic policies are enough to win elections, but that’s not the case,” he said, as good management and political strategies are equally needed.
On the other side, Sánchez and the socialists are utterly incapable of keeping the country on a financially stable course, yet they have the power all the same. Even though the EU’s relaxed rules during COVID proved that the PSOE cannot be trusted with responsible governance at all, Zarzalejos remarked, adding that
telling a socialist government to spend as much as it wants is the equivalent of giving a loaded gun to a monkey.
Tertsch, however, focused more on what happened during the last elections, not hiding his frustration about the fact that, were it not for the Partido Popular’s anti-VOX campaign, the country might not be in this situation in the first place. Instead of criticizing Sánchez and the PSOE, the Partido Popular (PP) spent its campaign attacking VOX, the conservative party to the right of them.
“The problem is not that VOX is accused by the Left as fascists—it’s normal for the Left to do so whenever they want to shut someone down—but it was not normal for the PP to do it,” said the MEP. “[The PP] thought they could have a majority and a government alone, so they started a campaign to kill VOX and bring in its votes.”
A lesson to be learned
The Spanish regional elections earlier this year showed that a PP-VOX alliance could not only work but bring serious results—it’s a pity the same wasn’t replicated during the general elections. The current crisis, however, might prompt both parties to forget their differences and prepare their resistance together. The fact that this event could have happened is a good start to begin with.
Furthermore, the Spanish Right needs to unite not only for the sake of Spain but for conservatives all across Europe. Socialist governments have been given a green pass for too long, while conservatives are scrutinized for the smallest of things. “The rule of law is a very selective thing in Brussels,” Győri lamented. “Hopefully the PP [as a member of the more influential EPP] will help us make the playing field level once again.”
Saheed Azeez was granted asylum in Britain after claiming to be at risk of persecution for being gay. Credit: Saheed Azeez/Cavendish Press
A ‘gay’ Nigerian asylum seeker who went on to father three children by three different women in Britain was the mastermind behind a £220,000 (€252,000) Facebook and eBay parcel fraud scam, a U.K. court has heard.
Saheed Azeez, 33, was granted asylum in Britain after telling authorities he faced persecution by the Boko Haram terrorist organization for being homosexual but has since fathered three children and married a woman in the U.K.
He now faces up to six years in jail after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation. He is accused of establishing a parcel scam in collaboration with other Nigerian conmen to defraud individuals selling goods on Facebook Marketplace and eBay.
Bolton Crown Court heard how Azeez and his fraudster gang would persuade vulnerable sellers to depart with their goods before receiving payment and established a multitude of drop zones at addresses in the Greater Manchester area of northeast England.
Azeez would then collect the goods on arrival, pay those offering their address as a drop zone a percentage of their value, and sell the items in his brother’s second-hand electrical store in Wigan.
The prosecution alleged that Azeez ran the scam for over 14 months between September 2020 and November 2021, stealing goods worth over €252,000 from 272 victims.
He was eventually tracked down by police after the authorities made connections between several of the drop zone addresses and Azeez, and the suspect was arrested as he dropped one of his sons off at school.
During the arrest, Azeez sought to dispose of three mobile phones by hiding them in his son’s school bag which were ultimately recovered by the police.
“The phones were accessed and interrogated and clearly showed his role in three online frauds,” the prosecutor told the court.
“He had provided his services to online fraudsters who contacted him from Nigerian registered phone numbers,” he added.
Azeez’s defense counsel Chloe Fordham claimed that her client is now bisexual and would face persecution should he be deported back to Nigeria.
“He now has three children in the UK by three different mothers and is married to the mother of the third child. He has parental responsibilities to all the children,” the court heard in mitigation.
Miss Fordham added that her client had been duped himself by the fraudsters, believing he was doing “legitimate work delivering and collecting parcels,” but when he found out he was not strong enough to walk away because of his past of being “exploited, tortured, and abused” back in Nigeria.
