Man could face jail for a fifth time

A MAN who took his children from their mother and left them with relatives in Libya seven years ago could be jailed for a fifth time.

Four judges have handed Mohammed El Zubaidy a twoyear jail term and three of 12 months over the past five years after concluding he had breached orders made in a High Court fight with estranged wife Tanya Borg and was in contempt of court.

Ms Borg, of Pewsey, Wiltshire, yesterday complained he was still in breach of an order and asked a judge to impose a fifth jail term.

Mr Justice Peel adjourned a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London to give Mr El Zubaidy, who lives in the capital, time to find lawyers.

He said the case was due to be reconsidered on December 16.

Mr El Zubaidy represented himself at the hearing but said nothing in response to Ms Borg’s latest allegation.

Ms Borg has been fighting to get Angel El Zubaidy, now 22, and her 11-year-old sister Maya, back to Britain since Mr El Zubaidy left them with his mother in Tripoli in 2015, judges have heard.

Mr Justice Peel said Mr El Zubaidy had left jail earlier this year.
