Former MP Jared O’Mara has been sentenced to four years in prison for expenses fraud to feed his cocaine habit.
O’Mara, 41 was convicted yesterday of six counts of fraud, after he and members of his staff attempted to submit fake expense claims worth £24,000 in the name of a fictitious disability support charity.
Sentencing disgraced former politician, Judge Tom Bayliss KC told him: “You abused your position as a Member of Parliament to commit fraud. You have not shown a single degree of remorse.”
