[rov1100]

What happened to all his £££millions?

Good question.......I lost money in Polypeck, which p1ssed me off.

He came over from Cyprus in a private jet, with a wife who had a body to die for.

Am i "narked".........too right i am.

Thanks rov, I don't need reminding....;-)

Its always polite Squad to give a link. As it was only announced about 20 minutes ago most people are unaware of it.

Legal aid ? But able to live in a Mayflower flat ?

[bimbo123456]

Mayflower flat? Now there is a thought. Everyone is entitled to legal aid, except most of the people who actually need it. Shocking!!

[David Black]

He was totally innocent of course?

Maybe? Maybe not?

Mayflower flat? Is he a Pilgrim Father?

// The Legal Services Commission said that Nadir, whose trial is due to begin next January, had his finances assessed before the decision was made and will still make a "substantial" contribution to his own legal costs. //

So the taxpayer are not paying ALL his legal costs, but you can assume it will be substantial. My bet he will get off on a technicality.

he shouldn't be getting any legal aid, living the high life all this time, coming back and now should be found guilty, and go to jail, likely none of this will happen, and gets off, as someone said on a technicality.

its a pretty safe bet that this crook like most businessmen has millions hidden in accounts all over the world, but as usual like hundreds of thousands of others of others we have let him con us, in this instance into thinking hes a pauper and cant afford to defend himself.

Ask yourself one question; why did he come back to the uk voluntarily ?, it wasnt for the weather , to clear his name, yeah right, he was living the high life in cyprus,..... so it somewhere along the line it must be money...lots of it !

[Gromit]

Bit of a contradiction there Baz. If his £millions are hidden "all over the world" He didn't come to the back to the UK for his money. I don't think it was for daytime telly though.
