SHAME SHAME
PERVERT MANCHESTER CABBIE TARGETED DISTRESSED PASSENGER
A taxi driver who groped a passenger months
after he
walked free following an identical accusation has been barred from driving a cab any- where in the country. In the latest case, Mustafa Kapacee got into the back of his black cab with the dis- tressed victim - who was in her twenties - and sexually assault- ing her. The 41-year-old then rang police and told them his passenger had complained of being raped by two men in an alleyway in a bid to set up an alibi. Just seven months before he attacked the woman, Kapacee was acquitted at Manches- ter Crown Court of sexually assaulting another lone female in
the back of his cab. As reported in PHTM, in that case he was accused of groping the young woman before ringing police and complaining that she had assaulted him and run off without paying, but the jury found him not guilty. After being charged with sexual assault again over the second allegation, Kapacee again pleaded his innocence. But he was found guilty after the prosecution used the evidence of the first complainant to bolster their case. According to the Man- chester
Evening
News, the married dad of four, described by his barrister as a “hard working family man,” appeared stunned as he was jailed for eight
months at a sentenc- ing hearing. The court heard that his family had con- cerns for his state of mind, and that a jail sentence would be “devastating” for him. But a Probation Serv- ice report suggested he had shown “no remorse” for his crime. Sentencing, the Judge said he considered it “proportionate and appropriate” to grant a prosecution request for a Sexual Offences Prevention
Order
against Kapacee. The terms bar Kapacee, whose licence had been suspended by Manchester City Coun- cil, from working as a taxi driver anywhere in Britain for ten years. He must sign the Sex Offenders Register for the same period.

their 11-week trial at Manchester Crown Court heard. Rangzieb Ahmed, who was also jailed for a minimum of ten years, was the first person in the UK ever to be con- victed of directing terrorist activities. His intentions were uncov- ered when he passed three diaries to Habib Ahmed to bring into the UK. The diaries appeared largely blank but actually contained details of key al Qaida operatives written in invisible ink. Among the names and phone numbers in the
diaries were al Qaida’s suspected former no. three, Hamza Rabia. Habib Ahmed was arrested in 2006 and after five years behind bars was released on licence last Septem- ber under strict con- ditions. But according to The Sun he is now back behind bars after he began worshipping at an
mosque and bought a mobile phone. Ahmed will now have to face a hearing to see whether he must serve the rest of his licence behind bars.
