Whilst appearing in EastEnders, Sachak was declared

Sachack, defendant #T20111217-1, was committed for trial for fraud and other offences on 22 September 2011 at Ealing Magistrates Court and the case was finally determined on 24 August 2012. A confiscation and forfeiture order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 was made against Sachak together with a custodial sentence for 3 years imprisonment. He pleaded guilty and was convicted for two crimes between 15 January 2007 and 31 December 2009 committed whilst on bail for another offence.[2]
