The report claimed that Afzal obtained loans from a bank for cars that he never delivered, but the purchaser was still responsible for. The former businessman is also accused of getting loans for cars that he actually delivered but never had proper documentation for.

As a result, the purchasers of those cars were allegedly still responsible for the loans but could not register their vehicles. Afzal also allegedly offered to sell cars for customers but neither returned the cars nor delivered any money from his sales. The luxury vehicles in Afzal’s scheme included Lamborghinis, Porsches and Rolls-Royces.

Special Agent in Charge Gregory W. Ehrie of the FBI’s Newark field office released a statement stating, “Mr. Khan came to the sobering reality that he could not outrun the FBI. People who flee to other countries to avoid prosecution only delay the inevitable and live every day with the knowledge that we are still in pursuit. Mr. Khan obviously reached the conclusion that it wasn’t worth it.”
