Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi is being investigated over claims he raped two Dutch girls in the 1980s and 1990s by West Midlands Police
He denies the claims, saying that they are "unfounded".
Sheikh Siddiqi is the head of Islamic legal service The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal, a sharia law organisation which critics claim is discriminatory against women.
The allegations against him claim that the victims were abused from the age of 11 and 12, until they were 16.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "A 51-year-old man from Nuneaton has been voluntarily interviewed in relation to allegations of historical rape cases.
"Inquiries remain ongoing."
Sheikh Siddiqi also owns a Devon holiday park, and runs an Islamic college in Warwickshire.
The claims first appeared in De Telegraaf, a Dutch newspaper
The women alleged that the incident happened after they were sent to the UK to study Islam.

I have long wondered whether the separate grooming gangs were somehow organised by some centralised force, and if so, are they all connected. This post proffers that very possibility. Does it take a share of the funds? and does it assist with ‘protection’ whether physical or connection-wise? 33 hectares? Who paid for that?

Yes, I think we be might onto something here. I will edit the post later, and add an article about grooming gangs in the Netherlands (where many of his followers come from), it says that the money the Dutch grooming gangs earn go to fund Islamists and organized crime abroad.
I think it's time to overhaul the narrative that all these Muslim Pakistani perps just kind of stumbled into the business locally because they run late night businesses like mini cab companies, and are not connected.

Worth noting that several crime syndicates throughout U.K. cities have typically operated around the Minicab trade
