Corrupt officer who aided gangster brother due in court
A corrupt Lancashire police officer who helped his gangster brother by hiding guns and scaring witnesses is to be sentenced later.
Officers found £72,000 at Salim Razaq's home
Salim Razaq admitted perverting the course of justice, possessing firearms and misconduct in a public office.
The 33-year-old, from Chorley Road, Walton-le-Dale, was sacked by Lancashire Constabulary in June.
He was caught when he tried to help his brother Hafiz escape prosecution for his role in a turf war in Preston.
Phone calls to Salim Razaq made by his brother in prison were bugged by police.
The pair were recorded discussing money laundering and plans to intimidate a witness.
In raids on Salim Razaq's home police found three machine guns hidden under the stairs along with ammunition and more than £70,000.
