A former lawyer who hounded British soldiers over fake war crimes in Iraq has pleaded guilty to fraud.
Philip Shiner admitted to three counts of fraud linked to claims made against Iraq war veterans.
Shiner, 67, led the pursuit of legal claims against British soldiers accused of ill treatment of Iraqi detainees after the 2003 war.
On Monday, he appeared at Southwark Crown Court, where he entered his pleas and will be sentenced on Dec 2.
It’s the 99% of lawyers that give the rest a bad reputation.
Was he himself a fake ‘lawyer’? Or were the claims spurious and fake?
This directly led to the loss of life and was a huge propaganda win for for the insurgents in Iraq.
All trust was lost with the Iraqi people because of the constant allegations in the press at home undermining everything the forces did in country as all that was going round was “Their own press wouldn’t lie about it, so they must be lying to us about torturing civilians”
For a second I thought he looked like Megamind on the thumbnail.
