A FORMER mayor of North Lincolnshire has appeared in court accused of 16 offences including fraud, theft and assuming the identity of a dead man.
Jawaid Ishaq, a councillor for the Crosby and Park ward on North Lincolnshire Council, denied the charges when he appeared before Sheffield Crown Court.
He is accused of five counts of fraud, four of theft, two of using a false instrument with intent and others of forgery, obtaining a money transfer by deception, making or supplying articles for use in fraud, possessing an article for use in fraud and perverting the course of justice.
Some of the charges date back to 1997, the court heard.
Ishaq, 71, of Normanby Road, Scunthorpe, was allowed conditional bail until his trial, also at Sheffield, on January 19 next year.
The police are holding his passport, the court heard.
The trial, likely to include about 58 witnesses, is scheduled to last for about five weeks. A hearing to monitor progress in the case is likely to be held in September.
Ishaq was represented by senior barrister Rodney Ferm and Scunthorpe solicitor Jason Nicholson.
He was suspended from the Labour Party in April last year following his arrest and he was charged in October.
During his time serving the Crosby and Park ward, Ishaq has been chairman of the authority’s planning committee and was North Lincolnshire mayor from 2008 to 2009.
He has served as chairman of the South Humber Racial Equality Council and is a former deputy chairman of Humberside Police Authority. In November 2000, he was awarded the MBE for his services to race relations.
