http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/stor ... d=10515406Former Kiwis rugby league captain Richie Barnett has been caught up in a business deal with an Iraqi immigration fraudster.
Mr Barnett's company recently sold a Fishmonger fish-and-chip-shop franchise to a man called John Joseph.
But Joseph is actually Salam Mansoor Abdelabbas Al-Bawi, sentenced in March to six months' home detention after admitting fraudulently using the Joseph identity to get New Zealand residency, citizenship and a passport.
