On June 21, a fake email, supposedly from the Royal Courts of Justice, ordered his release on bail. The forged paperwork fooled prison staff. Ahmed walked free – but only briefly.

The very next day, the same email account sent release orders for two other prisoners, Adam Mohamed and Charlie Whittaker. Prison staff got suspicious and checked with the courts – no such orders existed.
