Mentre qui da noi si può tranquillamente concedere una leggina ad hoc, in modo che qualcuno non paghi per reati dalle proporzioni disumane, in Inghilterra succede che un collaboratore dello staff del Sindaco di Londra, Boris Johnson, venga immortalato mentre svolge i lavori a cui è stato affidato dai servizi sociali per esser stato condannato dopo un utilizzo improprio per una carta di credito.
“He was given a corporate card to cover any ‘exceptional’ expenditure while abroad on City Hall business. But he used it to pay for two meals with 23-year-old Claire Dowson — for whom he left the mother of his son — and a dinner with PR assistant Joanna Laban. He lied and said he had dined with Tory council leaders. The three meals cost £156.70″. che vuol dire 60 euro a testa..(non aggiungo altre considerazioni maligne sugli zero che mancano per arrivare a 60,000)
E sentite la conversazione tra il giudice e l’imputato, come riportata dal giornale: “Sentencing Clement, Judge Quentin Purdy said he had ‘flagrantly and arrogantly’ misused taxpayers’ money. He told Clement he had come ‘very close indeed’ to being sent to prison. ‘You knew full well what you were doing was dishonest and it is your fault and your fault entirely,’ the judge said. Clement, a former postman from Crayford, publicly apologised to Mr Johnson outside Westminster magistrates’ court, saying he was ‘truly sorry’. He admitted he had ‘let down’ taxpayers and colleagues.”
