Christopher Peach, formerly of the Black Lion Hotel in Scotland Street, Ellesmere, is currently serving a five-year prison sentence.

He was jailed last year after admitting 18 counts of fraud by false representation and one count of money laundering.

The 51-year-old used a deed poll to change his name to Christopher Hill in a bid to avoid his 10-year bankruptcy order being detected by banks.
