If just 1 of them does some proper time in a proper prison I'd be happy enough with that. Even that wont happen though.

You have ould lads who serve time because they try to defend what little is theirs from burgulars and this guy isnt locked up yet!? Some justice system. I hope they were just building a case to hammer him.

Some people think they are above the law.

[conman]

should round up the rest of them too, and get plenty of bendy over soap time for the next few years.

I'd be amazed if they even charge him ....

I suspect this is done as much for the presses benefit, as anything else ....

If this guy or others thought they were going to jail, how come none of them have fled the country months ago .... not like they've not had plenty of time to make arrangements, get their legal advice etc.

As well as getting rid of any documents that may incrimnate him.

Should never have taking so long to arrest him gave him ample time to do all the above, another publicity stunt and if that cnut gets away with this, will just prove how our goverment and these cnuts actually have been in each others pocket through the years!!! Although we all know they are best buddies!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
