"Fake bomb detector conman jailed for 10 years"
How could anyone do something like this?...
On the U.K. Guardian website, Robert Booth reports on him:
"The judge said that in terms of culpability and harm, he could imagine no more serious case. 'Soldiers, police forces, border customs officers, hotel security staff and many others trusted their lives to the overpriced devices sold by you,' he said. 'Your profits were obscene, funding grand houses, a greedy, extravagant lifestyle and even a yacht. You have neither insight, shame or any sense of remorse.' Prior to sentencing, the court heard statements from British army officers that bomb blasts killing civilians in Baghdad occurred after truck bombs and other explosives had passed through checkpoints manned by security officers using the fake detectors."
