A BUTCHER from Kingsbury is facing accusations he intentionally employed three illegal immigrants.

Talhat Rehman, 51, has been charged by the UK Border Agency with three counts of knowingly employing illegal immigrants.

The owner of the butchers, in Kingsbury Road, has appeared before Brent magistrates where he denied the charges against him.

He will now face another court hearing on March 23, and has been released on bail.
