TWO migrant hotels kingpins have disappeared after their £2billion contract was axed.
Kebab shop owner Safwan Adam, 38, and sushi shop boss Bassam Gilini, 38, made tens of millions from the Home Office through their firm Stay Belvedere Hotels Limited (SBHL).
It was announced in March that the firm — which operates 51 sites — was being removed as a government contractor when its deal ends in September next year.
The pair had already taken at least £47.4million in dividends from the business between April 2021 and September 2022 — in the only public accounts currently available.
It is believed they may have now left the UK.
Neighbours at Mr Gilini’s £2million home in Chigwell, Essex, said they had not seen him around for “some time”.
Meanwhile a relative of Mr Adam in Wanstead, East London, said he was “not in the country”.
But a source close to the company last night insisted the directors had not moved from the UK and continue to work from the country.
The Home Office has refused The Sun’s Freedom of Information Act request to explain why the deal was scrapped.
Border security and asylum minister Angela Eagle had told a select committee earlier this month that there had been “non-performance-related issues” with SBHL.
The TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “The Home Office’s refusal to be transparent, even after a parliamentary committee raised serious concerns is unacceptable.”
Neither director has replied to requests for comment.
