Convicted Muslim Cleric Abu Hamza property will soon be up for sale after The Legal Commission took possession of it to repay his legal fees.
The house located in Greenford West London is worth about £280,000 proceeds of which will pay back Abh Hamza legal fees.
Carolyn Regan, chief executive of the LSC, said: "We can confirm the LSC has taken possession of Abu Hamza's property, as a contribution to recovering the legal aid costs spent on his defence.
"The LSC will not tolerate people trying to conceal their financial assets. Legal aid is a vital public resource and we are committed to ensuring it is spent on those who most need help with their legal problems."
Born Mustafa Kamel Mustafa in Alexandria, Egypt, on 15 April 1958, Abu Hamza was the son of a naval officer and a primary school headmistress. He initially studied civil engineering before leaving for England in 1979. Abu Hamza, preached at Finsbury Park Mosque, London, was convicted of 11 of the 15 charges he faced.
He has already been in jail since May 2004, and will appeal. His lawyer said he considered himself "a prisoner of faith" subject to "slow martyrdom".
US authorities are seeking the cleric's extradition for terror-related matters.
The three-year battle to seize the house was hailed as a triumph by the TaxPayers' Alliance.
Chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "It is great news that at long last taxpayers are starting to get some money back from Abu Hamza." Hamza, who was jailed after rants at North London's Finsbury Park Mosque, bought the house for cash while behind bars.
The TaxPayers' Alliance is an independent grassroots campaign for lower taxes. It feels that for years people are being ignored by politicians of all parties, the TPA is committed to forcing politicians to listen to ordinary taxpayers.
