"But on Thursday, the force said in a statement: Detectives investigating the suspicious disappearance of Bradford man Ismail Ali in 2020 can confirm that he turned up at a police station yesterday reporting to be safe and well. Officers are working to understand the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance."
"The statement added: Mr Ali's family have been notified that he has been found safe and well and is being safeguarded whilst necessary checks are being made. The force said house searches were carried out at three properties after Monday's arrests and a large amount of cash was seized. It said a number of those arrested remained on bail for suspected money laundering offences and inquiries were ongoing."
"According to reports in 2020, Ali, then 46, was last seen in the shop he worked at in the Lidget Green area of Bradford on Friday 29 May. He was wearing a red hooded top, black trousers and dark footwear. His disappearance has featured in a number of appeals over the last five years, with police saying his family were concerned for his welfare."
Ismail Ali, missing since May 2020, presented himself at a West Yorkshire police station reporting to be safe and well. Officers had earlier arrested three women and two men on suspicion of his murder after saying they suspected he was no longer alive. Searches of three properties after those arrests recovered a large amount of cash, and several people remain on bail for suspected money laundering as inquiries continue. Mr Ali's family have been notified and he is being safeguarded while checks are carried out. Ali was last seen working in a shop in Lidget Green on 29 May 2020 and his disappearance prompted repeated appeals due to family concern for his welfare.
