Dear All
The husband of Labour Minister Tessa Jowell has been found guilty of corruption
On February 17, 2009 an Italian court sentenced David Mills to four years and six months in jail for accepting a bribe from Silvio Berlusconi to give false evidence on his behalf in corruption trials in 1997 and 1998.
It was circa £350,000.
The stench of Labour goes even beyond the shores.
One of the companies that Mills help set up aboard on behalf of others dealt in supplying contaminated blood unfit for human use; this was revealed in a panorama documentary.
He is truly scum of the earth.
Mills now has an appeal in and because of huge political pressure they might because of the Berlusconi link not convict and overturn the sentence.
Mills should be put in prison.
An Italian source said;
“Convicting Mills would mean convicting Berlusconi and in Italy, when push comes to shove right at the top, people often get acquitted.”
Yet again, it seems that the political and social elite escape justice but perhaps the judges will be of sufficient character to let the verdict stand.
If the Italian Supreme Court upholds the sentence, three years would be automatically cancelled because of a government measure passed in 2006.
Mills would be required to serve the remaining 18 months and that should be in prison.
The fix already seems to be in as the Milan chief prosecutor’s office would not demand that Mills was jailed.
This is a mistake, the idea of Mills living a life of luxury in an Italian villa and popping out for some community service is completely wrong.
So, what happened to the £350,000 bribe?
It went to pay off a joint mortgage taken out by Mills and Tessa Jowell on their London home.
Labour Minister Tessa Jowell never checked were the source of the money came from, she just signed the papers.
So, will justice be done?
I think not.
Yours sincerely
