Mr Ahroon appeared at Birmingham Magistrates鈥� Court on 13 May 2025 and pleaded guilty at the earliest possible opportunity. 皇冠体育app court fined him 拢80 and ordered him to pay both a 拢32 victim surcharge and 拢500 of prosecution costs.

皇冠体育app SIA鈥檚 licensing regime is put in place to ensure door supervisors are trained and committed to protecting the public, but that regime is built on the foundation that people present truthful information.聽

In producing this false character reference, Alam Ahroon undermined those foundations and sought to put the public at risk. I am happy to see justice delivered in this case.
