I think Giovanni Di Stefano was his 'lawyer' in 2004/5,  If that is true Roch you are wrong,


A self-styled Italian lawyer has been found guilty of tricking people into thinking he was a bona fide legal professional.

Giovanni di Stefano was convicted of 25 charges including deception, fraud and money laundering between 2001 and 2011.

Di Stefano, 57, of Canterbury, is known as the "devil's advocate" for representing high-profile criminals.

Hi HB, I could only be wrong if these facts were known to JB / the public, when JB instructed DiStefano. I don't believe they were known

No worries HB. I was shocked at the depth of DiStefano's actions in the documentary about him. It was a real eye opener. Even I struggle to think he may have had a job done on him.

Di Steffano had a high profile at the time he was instructed to represent JB. He was not linked to fraudulent behaviour.

Hi qualifications were being looked into as early as 2004. He was representing Bamber then.

Where? Two things I recall that Bamber didn't like was 1. Mike's theory that the police shot Sheila and 2. Mike's posts about talking to a spiritualist. Bamber hired Di Stephano so wasn't that bothered about fraudulent claims.

Some correspondence I have in my possession.

What evidence is there that Bamber knew this before he instructed him?

He has never had any legal qualifications. He was a businessman

He has acted for people in high profile situations. Such as slobodan milosovic and Saddam Hussein. However I doubt the veracity of his claims

He also made a fortune in the video tape industry and was a football chairman.

Jeremy Bamber was probably taken in by Di Stefano In all honesty. A colourful character. Many people in the criminal fraternity still sing his praises. Charles Bronson for one.

Look at it another way. JB wanted out. If anyone could facilitate such, he'd have been unlikely to worry about the guy being a bit shady. Indeed, maybe all the better if he was prepared to be unethical.

Or maybe it just wasn't common knowledge at the time that DiStefano was being looked in to?

Nevertheless, wouldn't it be fascinating to know what passed between them, in private? After all, it seems he and Mike concocted a few improbable examples of what 'happened'.

GDS had theories relating to Nevill's past life in the war I think.

Presumably the details of such would have come from JB?

This is correct.

He was on video saying this

I know he has no legal qualifications - that's what was being questioned.

Jeremy is a LONG way from being naïve.
