More than 100 people were threatened with eviction from their homes to make way for asylum seekers after companies linked to a prominent GP starting running migrant hotels.
Firms connected to Dr Faisal Maassarani became landlords of Serco hotels in 2022 when asylum applications were almost at a 20-year high.
But soon after a hotel in Seel Street in Liverpool owned by one of the firms was found to be unsuitable, people in one of their Liverpool housing complexes were told they had to move out over "urgent" fire safety issues, unaware that 116 asylum seekers had seemingly been lined up to replace them almost immediately.
Maassarani, whose involvement with one of the firms was hidden behind a complex structure of companies and trusts registered in the Isle of Man, said he had no part in the day-to-day running of the buildings and did not authorise any communication with tenants.
Maassarani operates several GP surgeries in Knowsley and Sefton and in 2009 set up the social isolation charity Care Merseyside.
Between 2021 and 2022, a company he had founded, Schloss Roxburghe Holdings, acquired about £5m of freeholds on buildings that were originally owned by property developer Elliot Lawless before his companies went into administration.
In August 2022, when some of Maassarani's business associates bought the Waverley Hotel in Whitehaven in Cumbria, Serco moved asylum seekers into it within a week.
In November, one of Maassarani's companies then spent £3.5m buying the King's Gap hotel in Hoylake, which had been running as asylum seeker accommodation since 2020.

Look at the lengths he went to bury this and his involvement
Foundations/trusts offshore/Isle of Man and purchasing freeholds
The BBC doing journalism...
I dont know if it is the same guy, but I am aware of a guy that bought up fleabags and then applied have immigrants stay there. He may be a billionaire.
A nice racket isnt it .. .
So now we know the sources of the cash inflows. Maybe Bessent and DOGE could help UK with tracing the outflows, e.g. kickbacks to dead-soul Starmer and his ilk.
It’s all going offshore so it seems: foundations, trusts all with nominee directors. Essentially it’s impossible to unravel.
I wonder how the BBC found this out and were able to link the doctor
That’s for them but I get the feeling it’s more widespread than this
The only asylum needed here are the ones where they used to put the crazies back in the day. Now they just run amok.
Money flows are easy to track. Bessent and DOGE have proven that. It’s that the people in charge don’t want the funds traced. You think soulless Starmer doesn’t know what’s up? He knows who his puppet masters are.
“A nice racket isnt it .. .”
The politicians and bureaucrats embrace the scams.
filling the pockets of the enemy within, politicians
people get the government they vote for ...
