\nHasan has been declared bankrupt in a tax and liability case of the UK government\u2019s tax and revenue department.
\nThe official UK Gazette, which keeps the public record, has published details of the bankruptcy. It says that Hasan, a resident of Flat 17 Avenfield House, 118 Park Lane, and the company director has been declared bankrupt in the High Court Of Justice in case No 694 of 2023; filed on 25 August 2023.

\nThe civil case was initiated by Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) department against Nawaz, who was represented by Kaur Maxwell.
