The Honourable court in its magnanimity, made a order for the option of prison sentence “OR” an option of payment of fine in lieu of prison sentence.
Our client has preferred the option of payment of a fine in lieu of prison sentence and as it stands, remains a free man with liberty to go about his personal and political engagements.
For the records, our client’s reputation remains untainted, with his only blemish being that he was a victim of circumstance of the provisions of The Money Laundering Act which was construed aggressively against him.
Regardless of the circumstances, our client remains a VICTOR.
