A Legal Comment

Posted on | September 9, 2010 | 1 Comment

After I wrote my Telegraph article ‘Mohammad Amir plea bargain might unlock truth behind claims’, which is now available on this site, a Barrister friend of mine sent me this explanation.

‘The crime of conspiracy is one of intent and does not require an actual victim, as long as there are potential victims, and in the UK you can conspire to defraud victims overseas. That does not mean that it will be easy for the police to mount a criminal case. So as you say crucial for the ICC to get it right soon’

About

Geoffrey Boycott was a leading light in English cricket for a quarter of a century making over 48,000 runs and scoring 151 hundreds in an often controversial career with Yorkshire and England. After his distinguished peformances on the field he faced the biggest battle of his life – against cancer. He recovered to become an outspoken commentator on the game, his trenchant views on all aspects of cricket at home and abroad highly respected.
