Shamed Asil Nadir got £2m in legal aid… while renting £23,000 a month apartment and being driven to court in a Jaguar
‘Conman Asil Nadir was awarded nearly £2million in legal aid during his marathon trial, official figures revealed last night.
The runaway tycoon’s lawyers racked up a £1,987,743 bill at taxpayers’ expense – as he flaunted his wealth by renting a £23,000-a-month central London property and giving his young wife a new Range Rover.
Details of the 73-year-old’s enormous legal aid bill, revealed following a Freedom of Information request by the Daily Mail, will reignite the row about ‘fat cat’ defence lawyers who earn vast amounts from the public purse.’
