+++ Mills Convicted of Taking Bribe From Berlusconi +++

Mills was found guilty by a Milan appeals court of taking a bribe in exchange for lying under oath to protect Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Mills had appealed a conviction and sentence to serve four years and six months in prison. Mills is appealing…

Tessa Jowell spends a lot of time in the village of Darlingscote where David Mills, her supposedly estranged husband lives.  So she still finds him appealing.

      BBC have it as a minor story on front page and second story on politics page. Somehow I think if it concerned the “estranged” spouse of a Conservative shadow minister it would be the lead story and Michael Crick would be revving up his shocked expression for a Newsnight special.

        No news story here. Ministers take bungs every day. That money laundering mortgage was the right thing to do. This is small beer indeed.

          who the fuck are you frank? you know nuffink and yet you come here day after day telling everyone what’s what.
          fuck off frank you fucking idiot.
          the reader is not interested in hearing any more of your boring rants.

          • How did you know my wife’s petname for me? have you been monitoring my phone calls?

            I shall, however, continue ranting. Thankyou for your cooperation.

          • thick as thieves says:

            not a bad response considering you are such tired old fucker frank.
            well done.

          • I am indeed a tired old fucker, but this doesn’t seem to have affected my ability to be right all the time, nor my hatred for socialists. Especially the troughing kind.

            Has everyone noticed that in not one single report on this case has the word “mortgage” been used? Are we meant to have forgotten Tessa’s crooked role in this? Poor old BBC – it must upset them so that the proles are able to both read and remember.

            Let’s be frank – an Italian court has now found that the money Mill handled was a bribe; a minister of the crown has been found by a foreign court to have participated in the laundering of a bribe.

            You might think that this would be news?

          • thick as thieves says:

            quite right frank.
            but now you can see why my presence is so important to this place.
            without me here keeping an eye on all the cripples and all the oldies like you the quality of the posts drops exponentially.
            that kick in the balls I gave you really woke you up, didn’t it?
            made your eyes water, eh frank?
            and your following post was of a far higher quality than your previous shit ones.
            much better frank, but you will have to constantly strive to raise your game. you are not there yet frank.
            not by a long fucking chalk.

          • What is a long chalk anyway? You keep at it tat, without your iron discipline we’d all drift wildly off topic and probably end up in a circle bum, locked together in a daisy chain of buggery while the catastrophes of the day slide by unnoticed. Like on Liberal Conspiracy.

            thankyou for your prompt response frank.
            people always reply promptly to top boy and that shows respect and it also illustrates that they understand their position and tat’s intellectual seniority.
            remember that frank and you will not go far wrong.
            that will be all.
            now go about your business frank. no more backchat.

          • English Viking says:

            The sentence must be served within two years or else the statute of limitations nullifies the sentence. That’s the reason for the appeal, to get it past the two year milestone. He won’t serve a day in this life, but I’m sure that God has got a special place for people like him.

    This is totally OT but I think it may help you

    THE NEW TELEPHONE ‘SCAM’ HAS ARRIVED.

    I received a call from a ‘representative’ of BT,
    informing me that he was dis-connecting me because of an
    unpaid bill. He demanded payment immediately of £31.00, or it would be £ 118.00 to re-connect at a later date.

    The guy wasn’t even fazed when I told him I was with
    Virgin Media, allegedly VM have to pay BT a percentage for
    line rental!

    I asked the guy’s name – he gave me the very ‘English’ John Peacock with a very ‘African’ accent – & phone number – 0800 0800 152.

    Obviously the fellow realized I didn’t believe his
    story, so offered to demonstrate that he was from BT. I
    asked how & he told me to hang up & try phoning
    someone – he would dis-connect my phone to prevent this.
    AND HE DID!! My phone was dead – no engaged tone, nothing – until he phoned me again.

    Very pleased with himself, he asked if that was enough proof that he was with BT. I asked how the payment was to be made & he said credit card, there & then.

    I said that I didn’t know how he’d done it, but I had absolutely no intention of paying him, I didn’t believe his name or that he worked for BT.

    He hung up.

    Dialled 1471 & phoned his fictitious 0800 number – not
    recognized.

    I phoned the police to let them know. I wasn’t the first! It’s only just started apparently, but it is escalating.

    Their advice was to let as many people as possible know of this scam. The fact that the phone does go off would probably convince some people it’s real, so please make as many friends & family aware of this.
    ———————————————————- —

    A colleague replied with the following

    Real con job, don’t get caught

    This is good but not that clever. He gave the wrong number – it should have been 0800 800 152 which takes you through to BT Business. The cutting off of the line is very simple, he stays on the line with the mute button on and you can’t dial out – but he can hear you trying (This is because the person who initiates a call is the one to terminate it). When you stop trying he cuts off and immediately calls back. You could almost be convinced! The sad thing is that it is so simple that it will certainly fool the elderly and vulnerable.

    By the way this is not about getting the cash as this would not get past merchant services – it is all about getting the credit card details which include the security number so that it can be used for far larger purchases.

    Cheers

      Sid's Advice says:

      As an addendum – if you’ve still got an internet broadband connection – he can’t have cut off your line because if he was “legit” and really from BT your internet services would not work either.This has been going the rounds for months and I recall reading about in July.You could also tell him that you will phone BT services direct on your mobile as you can’t identify him.It’s similar to scams where someone says they’re calling from your bank rings you to ask for account details or that they are undertaking a security check(Banks also actually do do this legitimately usually from their overseas call centres and ask you to id yourself before they can speak to you they also do it with marketing calls as they say they have to comply with Consumer Credit Act etc – I tell them that I will call them back on a published number since when I phone them they won’t talk to me until I id myself so likewise for them calling me)Bottom line is NEVER divulge any security info to anyone ringing into you.Phone them back everytime whoever they say they are

    Mr B. will have his day in court, eventually... says:

    Mills acted for Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the early 1990s. David Mills was involved in setting up a large number of offshore trusts for the “B Operation” as he termed Fininvest, Silvio Berlusconi’s operations. Mills was being investigated in Italy for money-laundering and alleged tax fraud and on 10 March 2006 prosecutors in Milan asked a judge to order Mills and Berlusconi to stand trial on corruption charges. Prosecutors submitted 15,000 pages of documents to the preliminary hearing judge who determined whether the case should go to full trial.

    In February 2004, he had written to his accountants laying out a scenario where he would receive a large amount of money from the “B Operation” (Berlusconi’s Fininvest) for having “turned some very tricky corners, to put it mildly” which “had kept Mr B out of a great deal of trouble that I would have landed him in if I had said all I knew”.

    He admitted this story to Italian prosecutors, later retracting it and claiming that the money came from someone else. One source cited was Diego Attanasio, a shipping magnate and another Italian client of Mills. Attanasio denies this story. Questions were also asked about a woman living on a council estate in London’s East End who is recorded as a director or company secretary of 19 companies which Mills established on behalf of his Italian clients.

    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. His defence counsel said that he would appeal and that the sentence went “against the logic and dynamic of the evidence presented.” Ms Jowell said “although we are separated I have never doubted his innocence.”

    On 27 October, 2009, the Appeal was dismissed by Court of Appeal in Milan.

    The verdict and sentence stand.

        I don’t know why anyone would find this hard to believe. As far as I know, there are no qualifying criteria for being an MP other than being a British citizen over the age of 18 who isn’t currently, a member of the House of Lords, in jug or detained under the mental health act. Being prepared to prostitute one’s self respect by toeing the party line and ceasing to make any independent judgements is not mandatory but does help a punter reach cabinet rank.

    Dear Tess,

    This Italian nick is brilliant, full of friendly people who all seem keen to make my acquaintance. I must be very popular because they have given me a new nickname – Preesonna Beecha – sounds very impressive.

    The guys here are really welcoming and say that they are always keen to widen the circle of their friends. My room mate is also very considerate and says that he will not let anyone cause me any harm. However I cannot understand why he gave me a tub of vaseline – I do not have chapped lips.

    There must be a Scotsman here because, once the guards go to sleep, my roomy is going to introduce me to his good friend Mr ‘Bigmac’ MacDonald. Apparently he is called Bigmac because he pounds all quarters – I think that is bad English for a quarterpounder, the man concerned must be quite fat.

    The best advice that I have heard is keep my head down, mouth shut and just work my passage to freedom.

    Must go, it is exercise time and the guys have invited me to take part in a one-hour non-stop squat thrust marathon for charity – hope I can keep up!

    Thinking of you, Toodle-Pip.

    This Government is so wrapped in sleaze I am surprised they know what the truth is – nearly everyone in the Cabinet must have some link with something dodge. Flipping homes, charging for porn, bunking up with Mum and Dad, dodgy job arrangements etc…. It is now beyond a joke. It is an utter disgrace. Give Blair thejob, award yourselves a million pound salary each a year – nothing would surprise me ……. And by that time I will not care as I will have taken my family and emigrated.

    Olympics = taxpayers cash for building contracts so that ‘occultists’ can hypnotise us with their mega-ritual-opening-closing ceremonies.

    What a giant waste of “money” it all is but it’s the ‘bandwagon du jour’ exploiting all too willing athletes to justify mafioso-like contracts.

    The world and virtually every so called “government” on the planet is run via think-tanks with corporate-bankster board members, tax-exempt foundations and they call it “democracy”. Bull shit.

    As the late George Carlin so rightly said: “IT’S A BIG CLUB – AND YOU AIN’T IN IT” – unless you sell your soul for £££$$$$.

      I missed that one owing to the fact that Wilson,Callaghan and the winter of discontent cured me of voting Labour.
      Funny thing is though when I told anyone who would listen in 97 after the election that it would all end in tears I was laughed at and called a bad loser.
      Hopefully this time it will finally sink in that Labour is synonymous with bleeding the tax payer and the economy dry time after time after time after time.

    Mr B. will have his day in court, eventually... says:

    Pace Martin Jacques (I man I rarely agree with, but spot on here):

    ‘Tessa Jowell is not a political innocent. She is a leading member of the cabinet. She has been assiduously working her way up the New Labour ladder for many years. She has long been a Blairite, enjoying a relationship of trust with the prime minister. She has faithfully reflected his views in regarding Berlusconi as a politically sympathetic figure with whom New Labour, and its leading families, could do business. She may or may not have known the intimate details of her husband’s financial affairs but she surely knew that he had acted for Berlusconi, helped him to avoid taxes, and assisted him in his efforts to resist the judiciary. And, no doubt, Jowell saw nothing wrong in this. After all, Berlusconi had the blessing of her prime minister – he was, broadly speaking, “on our side”.

    What are friends for.. says:

    Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has told Times’ correspondent in Israel that leaders of countries who have also faced corruption scandals give him hope.

    “I look at the manner in which my friends Tony Blair and Silvio Berlusconi were in a similar situation. They were accused in similar ways, one of trading contributions for titles and one for trying to bribe a judge. They were cleared entirely and didn’t stop taking care of the State,” he said in an interview.

    Cynic says:

    I seem to recall there were originally allegations that the money that came from Italy went to pay for the family home. If that is true, now that Mills has been convicted that would make that property the proceeds of crime under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. As such it is recoverable property under the Act and the Government can potentially seize it.

    So is the Metropolitan Police or the Seriously Disorganised Crime Agency moving swiftly now to investigate and seize it? Come on chaps. Where are you when your Country needs you? Indeed, is anyone looking to see if money laundering offences may have been committed in the UK?

    Jack Straw SILENCES child abuse victims in care:

    http://www.pienmashfilms.com/page14.htm#51437

    A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “The Secretary of State has made it clear that any move towards openness in the family courts must be balanced with the welfare, privacy and well-being of children.” She added that the decision to reverse Clayton had been made following a consultation with a variety of bodies. For better or worse, the balance has been tipped against openness.

    Another move to silence victims of institutional abuse.
