بريطانيا: كاميرات المراقبة تثبت براءة سائق تاكسي مسلم

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

قرَّرت السلطات الأمنية بشمال شرق "ويلز" إعادة التحقيق في القضية التي أدين فيها "محمد إسلام"، السائق البالغ 40 عامًا، بطريق الخطأ بالتحرش بـ3 فتيات ركبن معه في سبتمبر 2013، وذلك بعد أن استعان بخبراء تقنيين لتحسين جودة فيديوهات المراقبة، والتي أثبتت أن السيارة ليست سيارته.

وقد أكَّد محامي "محمد" أن السلطات الأمنية لم تفحص الأشرطة بشكل مناسب بسبب القيود المالية، وبعد ثبوت براءته أعرب عن شديد استنكاره وغضبه من اجتراء السلطات على التسبب في تدمير حياته المهنية ورخصة القيادة التي تخصه، وتوقع سجنه بسبب خطأ جهات التحقيق. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Wrongly-accused taxi driver Mohammed Islam 'lost everything'

Police are to reopen a case into a taxi driver who sexually assaulted three women after the man initially convicted cleared his name.

Mohammed Islam, 40, was found guilty of touching the women as he drove them home to north east Wales in his taxi.

But he paid for an expert to enhance CCTV which prosecutors had claimed showed his taxi - and it proved he had not been at the scene.

His convictions have been quashed and North Wales Police is reinvestigating.

Mr Islam's lawyer Adam Antoszkiw claimed the crucial evidence was not properly examined by police because of financial constraints.

The Chester-based taxi driver had faced being jailed after he was convicted at Flintshire magistrates' court last October.

The prosecution had said the taxi had stopped at a McDonalds at Sealand Road, Chester, as it took the three women - in their early 20s - to their respective homes in north east Wales in the early hours of 7 September, 2013.

A still image from the CCTV was produced which they said was Mr Islam's taxi.

But pending an appeal, he paid for his lawyers to engage an expert who was able to enhance the CCTV - and that proved it was not his taxi after all.
