"SFO HAS BOWED TO POLITICAL PRESSURE"
Nick Leeson's lawyer has accused the
Serious Fraud Office of "bowing to
political pressure" by not seeking his
client's extradition.
Stephen Pollard said the SFO had all
the "evidence it needed" to seek his
client's extradition, yet it was
sending him to Singapore to face lesser
charges.
Mr Pollard said he would "battle to
overturn this irrational decision".
The claim was "strongly denied" by an
SFO spokeswoman.
