Celebrity lawyer 'will not face police charges'

Celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, dubbed Mr Loophole for his success, has been told he will not be charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice, his representative said today.

Freeman was arrested in Manchester last October as part of an investigation carried out by Gwent Police.

Yesterday, before Mr Freeman was due to answer bail, Mr Freeman was told by the force he would not be charged, his representative David Simister said.
