The former employee of a prestigious City bank, accused of tricking his way into the building by purporting to still be a member of staff and helping himself to £40,000 worth of ink cartridges, has been cleared.
Johnstone Peter Otaigbe, 42, of Roycraft Avenue, Barking, Essex, had been charged with entering BNP Paribas, 55 Moorgate, between November 12, 2008 and January 28, this year, as a trespasser, and stealing the printer cartridges.
He was unanimously found not guilty by a jury following a trial.
i had to post the verdict because his lawyer complained about an earlier post when the defendant was charged.
ReplyDeletei didn't cover the trial so i don't know what the defence case was.
