Fraud complaint lodged against Redditch MP Jacqui Smith
http://www.bing.com/community/webmaster/f/12248/p/676356/9682470.aspx#9682470
A civil servant sacked for leaking embarrassing disclosures is planning to launch a private prosecution against Redditch Labour MP Jacqui Smith accusing her of expenses fraud. Ms Smith claimed £116,000 in second home allowance on her family home in Redditch while listing a London house she shared with her sister as her main home. But Christopher Galley, a former Home Office official, claims the former Home Secretary was more often at the Worcestershire address. He said: "We are accusing her of fraud by misrepresentation of her second home allowance. "We are suggesting that her main residence is in Redditch and not her sister's home in Peckham."

A City trader accused of gambling away a record £1.4 billion in a banking fraud has been granted bail.

He denied two counts of fraud and two counts of false accounting at an earlier hearing but was remanded in custody.
Today after a bail hearing held behind closed doors at Southwark Crown Court, Adoboli was granted bail on the condition that he must reside at a friend's house and abide by a curfew enforced using an electronic tag.
A sum of surety, put up by friends but which was not disclosed publicly, was also imposed.
Adoboli was said to be "delighted" to have been given bail.
He is due to stand trial in September with a possible preliminary hearing scheduled for July 20.

Courts Martial - The-looser-it-s-me
Our team at Bark &Co have wide experience of Courts Martial both in UK and abroad including in areas of conflict such as Iraq. We also retain ex-military experience within the firm to ensure we can be sensitive and responsive to the unique circumstances affecting servicemen and women and their families, especially when they are serving abroad. The Services demand standards of discipline which are distinctive to the armed forces and which have penalties for conduct that would not attract the same action in civilian employment eg AWOL and disobeying a lawful command. This separate military justice system is very familiar to our team at Bark & Co where we adopt a policy of personal contact providing expert legal advice at the earliest stage of proceedings.
When a service person is remanded for court martial they become eligible for Legal Aid. ACFLAA will, if requested, select a solicitor to represent them in this situation. But serving personnel also have the right and are encouraged to choose their own representative from the legal profession to assist in their defence case. This is where Bark & Co are at your service 24 hours a day.
We at Bark & Co have an excellent track record representing military personnel, either through legal aid or on a private fee basis. Either way, you will receive the benefit of longstanding experience and familiarity with the military and we will engage the services of specialist barristers whenever necessary to fight your case to best effect.

Spain 'de facto' barred from financial markets says minister | Business News
http://www.dropjack.com/Business/spain-de-facto-barred-from-financial-markets-says-minister--business-news--dw-de--06-06-2012/
Spain has admitted it faces problems refinancing itself in financial markets due to the high interest rates it is being required to pay. But an EU bailout isn't an alternative, it insists.
International financial markets were "de facto closed" to Spain, Budget Minister Cristobal Montoro told the radio station "Onda Cero" Tuesday, as exorbitant risk premiums for Spanish government bonds were a "serious problem" for refinancing the country's debt.
On Friday, the risk premium for Spanish 10-year debt compared to the German equivalent hit a record eurozone high of 548 basis points.
Investors are concerned that Spain will need a bailout from the eurozone rescue fund to support its struggling banking system and its heavily indebted autonomous regions.
In obvious reference to EU bureaucrats behind any rescue plan, Montoro was asked whether the "men in black" would now come to Spain to take over the country.
Montoro said that Spain "doesn't need" EU financial supervisors, as the government was itself able to "balance the budget, to return to stability through constitutional reform, to clean up the banking sector, and to improve labor relations."
