Brothel Madam Fined 2.6 Million Pounds In Lieu Of Jail
Judge John Curran said Thursday “The court is obliged to make an order to ensure that persons who profit from criminal offences will not retain the profits of their industries.
“What she was doing was against the law, but it is not the most heinous sort of offending such as large-scale dealing in drugs or offences of fraud.”
Diana Jane Jones, 45, netted more than £11,000 on one Six Nations rugby weekend in the capital alone.
Jones was not at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court for the proceeds of crime hearing. The court was told she is in Cyprus where she intends to stay.
Making the £2.6m confiscation order, Judge John Curran said if she fails to pay within the next six months, Jones can ask for a six-month extension. But she faces a four-year jail sentence if she still does not pay. The maximum which could have been imposed is 10 years.
Roger Griffiths, prosecuting, said that the benefit figure of Jones’ criminal activities amounted to £4m.
Of that, £400,000 had been spent and was no longer available, and £1m was attributed to legitimate running costs of the businesses.
Assets available for the purposes of the confiscation order amounted to £184,125.53, which included the equity in her luxury property in Llandain, Carmarthenshire, money in bank accounts, an Audi car, a motorbike, a bicycle, garden mower and wrist watch; and a further £2,415,874.47 in hidden assets. Paul Lewis QC, said the figures are “realistic and pragmatic.”
