Paper
addition |
A British conman who claimed to be a
well-connected former intelligence
officer, staged a sham society wedding
in Washington DC and made millions from
a "pattern of fraud and deceit" has been
jailed (David Taylor writes).
Kevin Halligen, who has also been
accused of taking money from the fund
set up to hunt for the abducted girl
Madeleine McCann, was sentenced to 41
months in prison at the US District
Court after pleading guilty to a single
count of wire fraud involving a payment
of $2.1m from the Dutch company
Trafigura, which he has been ordered to
repay. His deceit drew in some of the
most influential people in the US
capital's security world, the court
heard.
Halligen, 51, has already served 43
months in jail in Britain and the US
after an extradition fight since his
arrest in 2009. He will be deported in
the coming weeks. |
