What did he mutter?

I heard that there is no way of tracing the rest of the money. It could be in offshore funds somewhere just waiting for the son when he comes out.

I must say I agree with A-b about the talent of the man in creating the artifacts. That Armana princess is still the same thing it was when people thought it was ancient Egyptian. Then it was worth thousands, now it is worth nothing and yet it hasn't changed at all, only people's perception of it has changed.

can't remember exactly, but it was " you haven,t heard the last of this" or words to that effect, i think too much emphasis is being put on " who they robbed" n " the talent of the son" the bottom line is it was Serious Fraud.

Sounds like carte blanche for the elderly to do what they want.

Lets just hope the streets don't fill up with boozed up pensioners knocking down little kids, happy in the knowledge that they'll never get banged up.

Have you lost the ability to read and more importantly to understand what has been written? Or are you being deliberately obstreperous?

Oh! I get it! Your view overrides reality.

If you cant do the time dont do the crime....:D

Here’s someone else who doesn’t read what has already been written or their understanding of the English language is limited to picture books.

If I lived in Bolton I would be badgering the Council to sue the ‘expert’ who verified the statue as genuine.

But then I have already stated so in post 21.

Re: Can the old get away with murder?

I'm genuinely confused.

If an elderly person is considered to frail to go to prison for fraud, wouldn't they still be too frail for jail, if they had murdered someone, say? Or would this leniency go out the window for a more seriious crime, and a prison place would be secured for them?

It's a matter of principle.
