Star Of BBC’s ‘Bargain Hunt’ Pleads Guilty To Terror Financing-Related Offences


BBC 'Bargain Hunt' expert Ochuko Ojiri has pleaded guilty to terror financing related offences and will be sentenced.

A regular expert on hit BBC show Bargain Hunt has pleaded guilty to offences related to terror financing in a first of its kind case. The legislation says that it is an offence if people don’t notify police if they know or suspect someone has been involved with financing a proscribed terror group. Ojiri, who is also an art gallery founder, has appeared many times on the BBC’s Bargain Hunt and is still listed on thewebsite as an expert, where he names his best ever Bargain Hunt find as a “box of tiny Victorian china dolls.” The BBC said he has not appeared on the show, which sees pairs of contestants challenged to buy antiques from shops and then sell them in an auction for profit, for two years.
