Travel Agent jailed for two years

Travel agent, 41, who used £26,000 from a client’s credit card to pay for other customers’ holidays wept as she was jailed for two years – after escaping prison for the same offence seven years ago

A travel agent who used £26,000 that a customer was saving for his daughter’s medical treatment to reimburse other customers whose cash she had blown has been jailed.  

Sufiya Esa wept as she was handed a two year sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court – despite being let off the hook for a similar scam seven years ago when she fleeced £13,000 from another travel agent to keep her former business afloat.

The 41-year-old used the savings of customer Iqbel Salah to pay for other customer’s holidays after she spent the money which should have paid for their bookings.
