Well, I appear to have been proved right. The guy didn't really resign, but is still getting a monstrous pay-off, and all those arrested have now been released without charge.

So it would appear the whole thing was really a charade after all.

11 out of 12 of those can now be deported at the whim of the Home Secretary, which will not require an expensive trial, or any evidence, thereby saving the country those pesky costs, which after yesterday it probably cannot afford.

Do "Fair Trials Abroad" look at the cases of foreign nationals in the UK?

Oh the naïvety of the young...

There will now be a protracted battle, which will enrich the Human Rights lawyers to the tune of numerous lengthy sunny holidays, where they will appeal this deportation.

Well, he'd get pay off from Govt anyway or he'll get it from papers, I don't think it proves anything when some civil servant gets lots of money from taxpayers.

They released those arrested because they had nothing on them that would stand in court - which is a good move on one hand (better than expensive trial that collapses) but on another its a total utter tulip up on behalf of police/MI5 - the only good thing out of this is that they took fingerprints and probably other info so that those suspects won't get visas into any western country.

How so? They were released without conviction.

Its shambolic as these chaps havnt been convicted, have no criminal records against them, have paid huge fees and yet facing a deportation.

No wonder why Lawyer and Government saying this.

Dude, they are not convicted yet and I think according to Human Rights regulations, No country can stop any legal person without conviction or criminal history.

We should get some lessons otherwise we'll end up with more Charles de Menezes case.
