OPEN LETTER TO ALL RELEVANT AUTHORITIES

REGARDS THE LONG-TERM ILLEGAL

ACTIVITIES OF JOURNALIST MAZHER MAHMOOD

A.K.A. “THE FAKE SHEIKH”

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Alex William Smith, although I am also know by my current stage name of Jonathan Royle and my former stage name of Alex-Leroy which I was using in 1998 when the now disgraced and convicted of Conspiracy to Pervert the course of Justice, Journalist Mazher Mahmood ran a fabricated story about me in the News of the World.

This ultimately led to me getting two convictions for delivery of Counterfeit Coins as is fully explained on my blog page located at www.circusofthemind.net

As you will see on that page I am in the process of appealing my Convictions, especially given that New Evidence has now come to light including most notably the fact that it seems that the alleged “Fake” Coins in my case, were never forensically tested by the Royal Mint despite claims to the contrary by the CPS.

My Renewed Grounds of Appeal is being dispatched to the Central Criminal Courts of Appeal Offices by Signed for Royal Mail Delivery on the morning of Friday 24^th May 2019 – a PDF of the grounds can be seen on my blog at www.circusofthemind.net

Anyway my reason for writing is that on behalf of all victims of Rupert Murdoch’s “Fake Sheikh” Mazher Mahmood I would like some answers.

Answers to things that it was indicated investigations would be started into almost five years ago now, and as yet nothing has been published by anyone in this regards.

Shortly after the Drugs Trial involving British Pop Star Tulisa Contostavlos collapsed after The Sun on Sunday and former News of the World Journalist Mazher Mahmood aka “The Fake Sheikh” was exposed as a Liar, it was publicized that the Crown Prosecution Service would now closely examine whether previous convictions obtained based on Mahmood’s evidence could now still be considered safe.

Suggestions at the time were made that the Attorney General should examine why Mahmood himself had never been charged or previously convicted for buying Drugs, Counterfeit Money, Guns and other items which by purchasing in the manner he did, arguably without a real “public interest” defence that he was indeed himself breaking the law on multiple occasions.

Indeed in that regards I quote three people:

Judge Stuart Fish formally acquitted Mr Giggs, then asked whether

charges of inciting to supply drugs and illegal possession had been

considered against the reporter, Mazher Mahmood.

& Royal Trappings.

And also:

“I am minded to refer the whole of this matter to the Attorney General to consider the temptations to which money being offered in return for

stories, in particular about celebrities, gives rise to – and the way in which

newspaper investigations may have a detrimental effect on – the ultimate

court proceedings.” – Judge Simon Smith

Further there was also talk that such activities by Mahmood should be looked at during part two of The Leveson Inquiry, which sadly the current Conservative Government have axed, despite Sir Brian Leveson stating that it is needed more than ever and also clearly stating in his letter to the Government from which I quote:

“The Conviction of Mazher Mahmood also raises issues of an entirely different species of unlawful or improper conduct”
Sir Brian Leveson – 23^rd January 2018.

However Fast approaching five years since the collapse of that trial in 2014, no results of such an apparent “investigation” have been published or made public and I for one on behalf of all victims of the “Fake Sheikh” would like to know why is that?

Given the extreme weight of evidence and facts that I have managed to collect and publish on my blog page at www.circusofthemind.net it now seems clear that The Crown Prosecution Service knew about Mahmood’s dishonest and arguably illegal activities as far back as 1997 as was revealed in the BBC Panorama Documentary “The Fake Sheikh Exposed” and since then has also been revealed through various online news sources the links to which are on my blog and include this one:

http://www.meccsa.org.uk/news/three-d-issue-27-leveson-part-two-outstanding-issues-and-unheard-evidence/

That of course raises the question that the Crown Prosecution Service need to answer of why was their knowledge of Mahmood’s Dishonesty and arguably Illegal Activities not disclosed to me by them when I was charged or at anytime during the legal court process?

The same question applies as far as I am aware to all other victims of the Fake Sheikh, why was such information withheld from us and not disclosed as it should have been to give us all the chance of a fair trial?

I would also love to know why a full Police Inquiry into why Mahmoods evidence was allowed to be used to charge people for so long, despite Police already being aware that he was not to be trusted as a witness of truth has it seems as yet not been undertaken?

After all Mahmood himself has famously bragged that he has bent Police Officers in his Pocket, surely such corruption itself should lead to an investigation into what else may have illegally taken place between Mahmood and the Police?

I would therefore strongly urge all relevant parties, namely the Crown Prosecution Service, The Attorney General, New Scotland Yard & The MET Police and of course all relevant members of Government to please respond to this letter providing full details of what (if any) relevant investigations have indeed taken place and what results were obtained and conclusion made etc, or where such has not taken place please explain why?

In terms of Political Parties I would also urge all opposition parties to reaffirm their commitment to reinstating Part Two of the Leveson Inquiry should they become elected and gain entry to Number Ten.

It is my honest belief that many dozens of people may have been wrongfully jailed over the years due to the lies, deception, illegal activities and behind the scenes manipulation and intimidation of Mazher Mahmood and those in his team, and that such should be fully investigated by all relevant authorities as a matter of urgency.

You will find that I have done a lot of the legwork for you and provided links to evidence galore of Mahmood’s Long-term dishonest and illegal actions on my blog at www.circusofthemind.net

Quoted from that blog, may I now draw your attention to these quotes from various people which have appeared in the media since the collapse of the Tulisa Contostavlos Case involving Mazher Mahmood, and which further illustrate how unsafe any convictions gained as a result of his evidence must now surely be deemed.

The sources of all of these quotes in various National Media Publications along with links to the original articles and/or official statements/letters can be seen on my website of www.circusofthemind.net
____________________________________________________

It is as we have long suspected that the Met knew and repressed

information about corrupt relationships between their officers, employees

of The News of the World and Southern Investigations. This information

was deliberately repressed by the Metropolitan police and should have

been disclosed to those representing defendants in the so called “stings”

orchestrated by Mazher Mahmood. It is information which should be

immediately disclosed to those lawyers advising relevant convicted

individuals whose cases are now before the CCRC, and the Daniel Morgan

Investigation Panel. – Siobhain Egan – Lewis Nedas Law

________________________________________________________________

“People who have been locked up in the past are now able to say there is

compelling evidence that this man was prepared to lie on oath in order to

secure a wrongful conviction, so there’s now a platform for others to come

forward and say ‘the same thing happened to us.’” – Jeremey Dein QC

_______________________________________________________________

There were “strong grounds for believing that the underlying purpose of

these lies was to conceal the fact that he (Mazher Mahmood) had been

manipulating the evidence in this case” by getting another witness to

change his account” Judge Alistair McCreath told the jury.

_____________________________________________________________

“Mahmood has now been exposed by my lawyers openly lying to the

judge and jury. These lies were told to stop crucial evidence going before

the jury.” She added: “Thankfully, the lies have been uncovered and

justice has been done.” – Tulisa Constantavlos

___________________________________________________________

Judge Stuart Fish formally acquitted Mr Giggs, then asked whether

charges of inciting to supply drugs and illegal possession had been

considered against the reporter, Mazher Mahmood.

________________________________________________________________

Mr Quinn Hawkins prosecuting said: “The position is that the Crown can

no longer rely on Mr Mahmood as a witness of truth in this case, and for

that reason, I offer no evidence against Mr Gordon on behalf of the

Crown.”

______________________________________________________________

“Curiously, he’s (Mazher Mahmood) never been charged with the illegal

purchase of cocaine, although there are no legal grounds on which he can

do this to perpetrate a sting.” – Peter Burden – Author of Fake Sheikhs

& Royal Trappings.

“I am responsible for innocent people going to jail. I tricked them, (to help

Mazher Mahmood) and I’m ashamed. It’s time to tell the truth.”

Florim Gashi – Former Colleague of the Fake Sheikh

_________________________________________________________________

“We’ve had the case of Mazher Mahmood, the ‘fake sheikh’ who perverted

the course of justice to secure his ’scoops’ and left scores of previous

convictions unsafe.” – Tom Watson – Labour MP

__________________________________________________________________

“One is mindful about the fact there is little regulation on undercover

newspaper work and citizen investigators which perhaps needs to be

looked into.” – Nazir Afzal – Former Chief of CPS in Northwest.

_________________________________________________________________

The other thing you might want to look at though is the PCC code:

“Clandestine devices and subterfuge. The press must not seek to obtain or

publish material acquired by using hidden cameras or clandestine listening

devices or by intercepting private or mobile calls, messages or emails…”

etcetera, etcetera. And of course it goes on to say: “… unless there’s a clear

public interest.” – Alistair Campbell – MP

_________________________________________________________________

“The fact that somebody who has been accused by a judge of apparently

not telling the truth may be instrumental in those convictions would

certainly be a reason to look at those convictions again and to examine

them to see whether they are safe,”

(Goldsmith told the Fake Sheikh Exposed Panorama Documentary)

Lord Peter Henry Goldsmith – Former Attorney General
__________________________________________________________

“I will first deal with unlawful and improper conduct within News

International and other newspaper organisations. The Conviction of

Mazher Mahmood also raises issues of an entirely different species of

unlawful and improper conduct” – Sir Brian Leveson QC

______________________________________________________________

Steve Grayson, who worked with Mahmood on numerous stories in the

1990’s including this one, said of the takedown: “He is a drug dealer,

we’re drug dealers, we have paid this guy to supply the drugs to give to

her.” – Steve Grayson – Former Mazher Mahmood Associate.

______________________________________________________________

“The CPS special prosecution team, as it was then, dealt exclusively with

these prosecutions and in my view did not seek to test the weight or the

veracity of the evidence.” “As I say, there was a certain MO Mahmood

would employ. The same assertions were made by reputable defence teams

time and again to the CPS, which were ignored.” “You also have the Met

Police. We now know there were internal investigations by the anticorruption team at New Scotland Yard into Mahmood’s relationships with serving police officers.” – Siobhain Egan – Lewis Nedas Law

___________________________________________________________________

“Over the last 25 years, innumerable lives have been ruined by the

dishonest actions of Mazher Mahmood. People have lost their livelihoods,

their homes and relationships, with some spending time in prison.”

“When the public used to read “Fake Sheikh” articles in British

newspapers, they would know there was a criminal at the heart of the

story. Until now, readers didn’t realise that the criminal was the “Fake

Sheikh” himself.” – MARK LEWIS – Lawyer

________________________________________________________________

“The real scandal in this case is that Mahmood was allowed to operate as a

wholly unregulated police force, ‘investigating’ crimes without the

safeguards which apply to the police. As a journalist, he was able to rely

on unnamed ‘sources’ and was not required to give full disclosure of his

investigation to the defence. As Tulisa’s defence lawyers, we were

prevented from properly testing the strength of his evidence.”

“It was obvious from the outset that Tulisa should never have had to go to

court. If Mahmood’s evidence had been properly stress tested instead of

accepted wholesale by the CPS, we are confident it would have come to

the same conclusion.” – Ben Rose – Hickman & Rose

_______________________________________________________________

“Red flags were raised about the reliability of Mazher Mahmood’s stings

over decades but the police ignored them.” – Dr. Evan Harris

_________________________________________________________________

“It appears perverse that, while the law protects against the state causing

citizens to commit illegal acts, it does not protect against private parties

doing the same thing, where often the participation of the private

‘entrapper’ goes beyond that which would be deemed appropriate by law

enforcement officers. Many newspapers stings involve an expensive and

targeted campaign on one individual, based on limited or no intelligence,

where the inducement is persistent and the primary incentive is to sell

newspapers, not to prevent crime.”

David Sleight – Kingsley Napsley Solicitors

______________________________________________________________

“Mahmood’s methods debase journalism. They often amount to

entrapment and, on occasion, appear to involve the use of agents

provocateurs. People have been encouraged to commit crimes they would

not otherwise have conceived. As if that wasn’t enough, the public interest

justification advanced for such activities by the NoW is almost always

highly debatable.” – Professor Roy Greenslade – Journalist

________________________________________________________________

“Panorama increases the strength of the case considerably for a new

inquiry… There is a severe question mark over over the tactics he

[Mahmood] used… We are dealing with convictions which may not have

been properly obtained.” – John Whittingdale MP

________________________________________________________________

“There is a huge danger of accepting Mr Mahmood’s word in respect of

any matter.” Stephen Solley QC

________________________________________________________________

“I am minded to refer the whole of this matter to the Attorney General to

consider the temptations to which money being offered in return for

stories, in particular about celebrities, gives rise to – and the way in which

newspaper investigations may have a detrimental effect on – the ultimate

court proceedings.” – Judge Simon Smith

_________________________________________________________________

“There must also be a review of Mazher Mahmood’s previous work. There

is a long rap sheet of complaints from Mahmood’s previous targets. All

those claims previously dismissed as ‘special pleading’ now sound eerily

similar to Contostavlos’ reports, namely that either:–

Mahmood offered inducements to ‘create’ the commission of a crime that

would never otherwise have been anticipated,

Mahmood manipulated or ‘spliced’ audio recordings, thus providing

police with inaccurate impressions about what was said, or the context of

it,

Mahmood misled law enforcement about the ‘originator’ or ‘instigator’ of

a criminal enterprise when in fact the origin was either Mahmood, or

someone in his pay.

Alistair Parker of Brett Wilson Solicitors
