Catching Iqbal

Finally, after authorities were able to gather enough evidence to go on, Iqbal and his partners were caught and charged with ‘conspiring to act or assist in the management of a brothel.’ They also ‘pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply it at the two brothels they ran.’ They also ‘admitted being involved in the conspiracy to launder the proceeds.’

His First Accomplice, His Cousin, Talib Hussain

Iqbal’s main partner in the entire scheme was his cousin Talib Hussain. Not only was Talib a convicted felon for armed robbery, he was also said to have “access to a fleet of flashy vehicles.” Talib, who resides on Douglas Avenue in Hodge Hill, was the known ‘man in charge’ of the illegal operations. Upon his sentencing, he was given prison time of eight years and four months.
