Former Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur�s assets frozen

Lutfur Rahman, the disgraced former mayor of Tower Hamlets, has been told his assets would be frozen after he failed to pay court costs, reports BBC.
He was found guilty of electoral fraud in April, removed from office and ordered to pay £250,000 in court costs.
A High Court judge ruled earlier that an injunction freezing the domestic assets of Rahman should be extended to include his assets worldwide. He was also served with a disclosure order to declare his assets.
Andy Erlam, one of the four complainants who brought the High Court case against Rahman, also applied for a freezing injunction after the former mayor failed to pay the immediate court costs.
Justice Edis ruled earlier that Rahman had to reveal his finances from the past five years and his tax returns from the past seven years.
