Saddam lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano challenges the British Home Secretary's right to introduce new legislation to Parliament to confiscate the assets of those charged with crimes before conviction. Di Stefano states such is contrary to the English Bill of Rights 1689 and warns the Home Secretary that she may be breaking the law.
London, UK (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 -- In a scathing letter addressed to the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Saddam lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano warns the British Government of the consequences of introducing new legislation allowing the Crown Prosecution Service to confiscate assets of those charged with crimes before conviction. Di Stefano submits that such is contrary to The English Bill of Rights 1689 and in a letter dated 24 February 2008 states: "We are duty bound to point out that any attempt at passing such legislation may well be subject to successful legal challenge as a violation of the English Bill of Rights 1689 which clearly state as follows:
"And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now assembled in a full and free representative of this nation, taking into their most serious consideration the best means for attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like case have usually done) for the vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liberties declare: (amongst others)
That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void".
The English Bill of Rights 1689 is Sovereign Statute and as valid today as when it was signed by the Sovereign and it is precisely clear that 'fines and forfeitures' prior to 'before conviction' are not only void but illegal.
Any attempt at passing the legislation that the news media attribute to you through Parliament may well lead to not only such being declared void but illegal and you and any others who vote such may be subjected to criminal charges of misfeasance in public office as well as other related charges."
Di Stefano currently represents amongst others Tariq Aziz, Hmad Humadi and Al Majid better known as Chemical Ali in Iraq has stated that violations of English Sovereign statute will attract penal consequences against any that pass unlawful legislation and/or try and impose such.
"The rights of the individual has been slowly eroded in England of late but this is perhaps just a step too far and the Government must act within the law or face the inevitable consequences ," said Di Stefano from the Middle East.
The letter by Di Stefano was delivered to Jacqui Smith. No comment was made by the British Government.
