Saddam-linked legal adviser jailed for fraud

A Monday, Jan. 30, 2012 photo from files showing Giovanni Di Stefano gesturing to photographers as he leaves Southwark Crown Court in London, after attending a bail hearing for fraud. The flamboyant but unqualified lawyer whose clients included deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to 14 years in jail for fraud Thursday, March 28, 2013. Giovanni Di Stefano was nicknamed "The Devil's Advocate" for speaking on behalf of figures including Saddam, former Iraqi Vice President Tariq Aziz and British train robber Ronnie Biggs. Prosecutors say he conned clients out of millions of pounds by operating as a lawyer when he had no legal qualifications and was not registered to practice in Britain or Italy, where he had offices.
