Sadly:
And he's currently on a (presumably paid) suspension from his £90,000 a year job.Quote:
BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said it was likely Dizaei would be released after three months due to the time he has already spent in jail.
Should have been far, far more, IMO.
How dare he steal electricity while the rest of us have to pay for it!!
Only 3 years? Really?
No wonder white collar crime is rampant these days.
If he gets his job back after this then there's something seriously wrong.
He looks like a right bell-end from his photo as well.
But, should he really be locked for a white collar crime? It costs us money to lock him, feed him and everything.Quote:

For non-violent offenders, electronic tagging and home curfew would be nearly as effective a punishment. Heck, I'm betting his other half is giving him a serious ear bashing on each visit, so getting it 24/7 is probably better!
He has now been convicted of a crime, so arrest isn't really the issue. And it isn't just white collar crime, it is betrayal of trust and an abuse of power which could have lead to a perversion of the course of justice.Quote:
