Ibori fails to get 13-year jail term reduced

Delta State By

Jailed former Delta State governor, James Ibori, has lost an appeal against his 13-year prison sentence for embezzling 50 million pounds.

Reuters reports that Judge Antony Edwards-Stuart on Thursday in London rejected Ibori’s appeal for a reduction of his sentence and said that money laundering should attract close to the maximum 14-year sentence.

Ibori pleaded guilty to 10 charges of fraud and money-laundering in February 2012.
