Peer says he did not report wife’s credit card as stolen as thief spent less than her
With a deadpan delivery, Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate left the chamber unsure whether he was joking or not as he recalled the incident in the House of Lords.
The non-affiliated peer said: “My wife, on one of her rare visits to London, had her credit card stolen.
“And I monitored the use of the card and I have to say I didn’t report it to the police, because the thief was spending less than she was.”
Peers across the House erupted into laughter at his comment. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mackenzie-of-framwellgate-credit-card-b2515188.html

Former prosecutor goes on trial for binning thousands of cases
The former head of the Prosecutor’s Office on the Ionian island of Corfu is going on trial on Tuesday, accused of abuses of power and the manipulation of public documents that resulted in thousands of criminal charges being dropped.
Maria Tataki, former prosecutor of Corfu’s First Instance Court and head of the island’s prosecutorial service, first came under investigation in 2019 when judicial authorities noticed that some 3,000 case files had disappeared from her docket without being resolved.
As a result of Tataki’s actions, hundreds of suspects facing criminal prosecution for a range of offenses got off scot-free, according to investigators. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1234359/former-prosecutor-goes-on-trial-for-binning-thousands-of-cases/
