The "Fake Sheikh " journalist unmasked

Post by Anchor Moy »

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/cr ... 57241.html

A former Attorney General has called for a review of all convictions involving evidence from the “Fake Sheikh” Mazher Mahmood, as the BBC broadcast rare images of the undercover reporter's face. Meanwhile, the fall-out from the undercover journalist’s reporting has been described as “far more serious” than the phone-hacking scandal.

Solicitor Mark Lewis, who helped expose phone hacking at News International and who is now representing some of Mr Mahmood’s victims, told the BBC’s Panorama programme: “The damage that’s caused, the damage for people's livelihoods, the amount of people sent to prison, it's a far more serious thing than phone hacking ever was.”

Mr Mahmood, who works for The Sun on Sunday, the title which replaced his former paper the News of the World when it was closed down over phone hacking, is currently suspended pending an inquiry by his employer (now known as News UK). He is also the subject of a police investigation into possible perjury charges after the judge in the collapsed trial of pop singer Tulisa Contostavlos said he may have lied. A string of cases involving evidence from Mr Mahmood have recently been dropped by the police and Crown Prosecution Service.

The costs are also noted at £50 million!
Even 25% +/- of costs, which is usually the case, a staggering amount of Public Funds & agency approved money and time to deliver what exactly?

Just when you think it can't get any worse - just gets dirtier and dirtier.

Anyway, none of that in Cambodia... :assasin:
