What? This wouldn't magically get him out of prison. He's serving ten years, anyway. He'll just get another six if he doesn't cooperate.

We have to bargain in exchange for cooperation, else people wouldn't give up assets/plead guilty/etc... by giving up assets/pleading as early as possible/etc, people can lessen their punishments, but it's entirely understandable. By pleading guilty, people save on expensive trials. By giving up assets the state/victims can get money owed. Etc.

He'll do 2 or 3 if he pays or 5 to 7 if he does not, the point is d5 million is nothing have a look how much it was worth. They should go after his assets anyway.
 
Looks like they made a finding of "hidden" assets, just like in my case, it's nigh on impossible to prove a negative, so either he pays up or has to serve half and will be chased for it afterwards , but you've called their bluff by not paying, so there's not a great deal they can do afterwards, apart from charge 8% interest per year and hope you pay some or all of it.

Asil Nadir told to pay £5m or face six more years in jail

No much too say really, i guess he must hold some secrets that the government does not want the common people to know.
Glad to see Cameron tough on crime in full swing.

What rot are you talking, why would he hold secrets? What is insane about retribution? Why should I pay to keep him in jail when we can take millions off him instead and save ourselves money in the process?
 
I take it the OP was bored and decided to trawl all the news websites then regurgitate it all on OcUK....

*yawn*

Correct. To take this idea further just look at Sammy 'The Bull' Grevaro, a former mob underboss who killed 19 people and yet only served two years in prison; why? Because in exchange for his freedom his agreed to testify against his bosses and helped convict John Gotti (Boss of the Gambino Crime family) and other high ranking members of the mob. Which in effect killed the NY mob's total control over the city.

They made the choice that the pay off of allowing one injustice gave a net benefit to society.
