Leslie Danso (right), 39, poses with actor Idris Elba. |
He was a
smooth-talking, self-made celebrity tailor with a champagne lifestyle to match.
Leslie
Danso kitted out his famous clients for red carpet film premieres, TV shows and
society weddings.
He posed
for pictures with actor Idris Elba and his customers included former England
footballer Emile Heskey and ex-Premier League star Fabrice Muamba.
Many
received free clothes in return for the publicity that their appearances in the
spotlight inevitably created.
But none
of them knew that, behind his smiles, Danso was a ruthless fraudster and
illegal immigrant who used false identities to rent properties across the
capital – which were turned into underworld drug dens.

Police
raided safe-houses rented by Danso and found crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis,
cash and ammunition

His
boutique near London’s Tower Bridge was a vanity venture funded by his life of
crime, and he even fraudulently leased six top-of-the-range BMWs.
The
Ghanaian now faces being deported – for the second time – after he was jailed
for fraud and using counterfeit documents.
Scotland
Yard remains unsure if Danso is his true identity, and believes that many of
his victims have yet to come forward.
