From London a little while ago...
The convicted fraudster Asil Nadir has been ordered to pay £GB5 Million in compensation to former Polly Peck share-holders.
The Judge hearing the case threw out Nadir's ridiculous claims that he had lived on hand-outs for the past some twenty years.
The Judge, Mr Justice Holroyde, further said...
... it was not true that Nadir had not received any significant income after fleeing to Cyprus in 1993.
... he found Nadir's sister to be "evasive and untruthful" in her evidence.
... (unbelievable that)... that "such a proud and talented man" would have lived off handouts from his mother and a girlfriend.
... Conscious that I am probably erring on the side of caution and being more generous to the defendant than he deserves, I believe he has the means to pay compensation of £5m."

Too true Justice Holroyd... imho far more generous than the thief deserves.
