Dressed in a tailored suit and travelling only by chauffeur-driven limousines, Alick Kapikanya looked every inch the successful businessman.
He lived in mansions in some of the most exclusives postcodes in leafy Cheshire, stayed in suites at five-star hotels and enjoyed a life many of us could only dream of.
But beneath the glitz and glamour is not the story of a self-made man or go-getting entrepreneur.
Kapikanya is in fact a fraudster who spun a web of lies stretching back decades, racking up 11 convictions including theft.
And despite five deportation orders, the conman dodged being kicked out of Britain for an astonishing 27 years.
