Muhammed Mustafa Darr was Accused of using dead people’s bank card details to buy goods
Appearing at Westminster Magistrates Court today, Darr spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, and his address in Walthamstow, east London. Darr, who worked with the Met’s North Area Basic Commando Unit, was not asked to plead guilty to any of the charges, which are adjudication only, meaning they can only be tried in Crown Court.
One of the misconduct charges states that he is accused of “abusing his position” from him to “obtain credit/debit card details of deceased members of the public.” Darr allegedly used the details “to acquire or seek to acquire property or transfer money to himself or others by fraud, and to sell fraudulently obtained property.”
Another misconduct charge alleges he used police computer systems to search for information about himself and others “without any legitimate law enforcement purpose.” The third claims that he stole a laptop and a bag and its contents from a Mercedes belonging to a suspect who had been arrested by his colleagues.

Darr also allegedly perverted the course of justice between March 22, 2020, and June 6, 2020, by using his access to check on the progress of a police investigation into Asif Mushtaq.
The charge states that Darr then “spoke with Ali Ikram and Asif Mushtaq, advising Asif Mushtaq to conceal or destroy evidence linking him to the investigation.”
District Judge Briony Clarke granted Darr bail ahead of his next appearance at Southwark Crown Court on May 24 on the condition that he reside at his home. Darr was charged following an investigation by the Met’s directorate of professional standards under the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
