I've seen that shot before, I didn't register the yellow text though. Guess he's done a runner, knowing he'll be arrested if he lands in the UK again
He sure has. Being extradited from Cyprus to the UK to stand trial isn't unheard of. But I think for things like murder. I suspect he'll be OK out there. If he steps foot back in the UK he will be tried and convicted, no doubt about it. What sentence he would recieve? Who knows. Contempt of a Crown court carriies up to 2 years. He's a bit of a jailbird so that might not bother him too much. But he's no spring chicken so prison might be a tiresome alternative to a sun lounger in Cyprus.
Depends which part of Cyprus he is in...
The UK has no extradition treaty with northern Cyprus, so there are no arrangements in place for police forces to investigate criminal suspects there.
I know. But there have been extraditiions. Or rather people detained in north cyprus, handed over to south cyprus and extradited from there.
But he seems to have friends with plenty of dosh and a willingness to protect him. I doubt contempt of court is a sufficient crime to prompt that scenario.
Also it seems his arrest warrant won't activate until October. Giving him the chance to return an explain why he didn't attend the last hearing.
