A jail sentence still seems harsh considering what some get away with in ripping off benefits & lying consistently about the offences over long periods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I suppose what makes this worse is that he 'altered' a document to gain an advantage? But £5000! More fool him? Playing games during a divorce is not unusual? Friends advise 'take him for every penny' or 'reduce your earnings to cut the alimony'!!! Worst would be using the Children to exert pressure?

Not if the person who stole a loaf of bread worked in the bakery, and their sole responsibility was making sure that no one was stealing the bread.

You may remember Creechurch from such famous hits as, "Whistleblower gets £600k payout". https://www.internationalinvestment.net/internationalinvestment/news/3503170/gbp685-record-payout-creechurch-whistleblower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 he is obviously not a Manx or even a British subject so if he wont behave himself of have some regard to the justice system why cant he be banned from the island , reading the background to this story in the news , this bad boy is going to cost the Manx taxpayer a lot of money if he continues to behave like this, and making death threats , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Bulgarian and might even have British citizenship too . Dont disagree though that in a ideal world he should be shipped out sharpish. There again in a ideal world he wouldn't have done what he has . Edited July 7, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually read Jayne Hughes' sentencing remarks on the original trial, they put some context on it: High Bailiff Mrs Hughes said that, bearing in mind Marinov had spent a week on remand, the equivalent of a two-week sentence, any custodial sentence would have been short and would not allow sufficient time for interventions planned by probation. In other words if he she'd sent him to prison, he'd be out more or less straight away with no other conditions imposed, while if she gave him probation she could order a longer term intervention. There's this real problem that judges here can't order prison plus probation afterwards (with all the monitoring from probation officers involved). It's one or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
