Security Industry Authority | A Birmingham man has been ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £612 after pleading guilty to knowingly making false statements to the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Ahroon Alam submitted a fabricated character reference from a Birmingham food bank as part of his appeal against the SIA’s decision to refuse his door-supervisor licence application due to his past criminality.
The SIA investigated and found multiple senior staff at the food bank confirmed they did not know Mr Alam and had not provided him with a reference.
Mr Alam appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. The court fined him £80 and ordered him to pay a £32 victim surcharge and £500 prosecution costs.
