Scotland Yard chief jailed

Britain’s most controversial police chief has been returned to jail after being found guilty of corruption for a second time.

Scotland Yard commander Ali Dizaei will never wear a police uniform again after being convicted unanimously at his retrial of misconduct and perverting the course of justice.

He received a three-year prison sentence at London’s Southwark Crown Court yesterday, although this will be reduced by the 15 months he has already spent behind bars.
