The jury deliberated for nearly 14 hours to convict Senator Ike Ekweremadu and the other two defendants
Det Insp Esther Richardson, of the Metropolitan Police, commended the victim for his bravery in speaking against the offenders.
She added police, the Crown Prosecution Service and Human Tissue Authority teams had “worked tirelessly” on the case, which is the first time that defendants have been convicted under the Modern Slavery Act of an organ-trafficking conspiracy.
The Ekweremadus, who have an address in Willesden Green, north-west London, and Dr Obeta had denied the charges against them.
