A LA...Lawyer faces jail for giving crook an alibi<br /> <br />A LAWYER has admitted giving a "serious criminal" a false alibi as police investigated an abduction and attempted extortion.<br /><br />Solicitor Shahid Pervez told police the man was in his office discussing an insurance claim when the crime was alleged to have been committed.<br /><br />But at the High Court in Glasgow, the father-of-two, of Langhaul Place, Crookston, admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice.<br /><br />Judge Lord Hardie, told him he faces a jail sentence, but continued his bail pending sentence next month. He ordered him to find £10,000 and to report to the police twice daily.<br /><br />Pervez, 39, is no longer practising as a solicitor and will be struck off.<br /><br />Alex Prentice, prosecuting, said Pervez was a conveyancing lawyer at the firm of Belton Pervez in Victoria Road, Glasgow, when the offence happened.<br /><br />He said the lawyer was approached by a client who was indicted for a trial alleging charges of abduction, assault and attempted extortion.<br /><br />The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, asked the solicitor to provide him with an alibi and Pervez agreed.<br /><br />A special defence of alibi was lodged by the man's solicitors for the trial, and the Crown instructed police to take statements from Pervez. He made the same statement in a sworn affidavit.<br /><br />However, after further inquiries, concerns were raised the alibi might have been concocted and police were instructed by the Crown to investigate.<br /><br />In the meantime, the trial of the man and two others, who also cannot be identified for legal reasons, was adjourned.<br /><br />When Pervez was interviewed on tape he maintained the alibi statement earlier was true. But later he admitted the man had called him and told him he wanted an alibi.<br /><br />Mr Prentice said: "According to Pervez he felt intimidated by the man, who was regarded as a serious criminal of some notoriety."<br /><br />Paul McBride, QC, defending, told Lord Hardie: "It was made abundantly clear if an alibi was not forthcoming that people had been firebombed, stitched and stabbed, and this could happen to his family."<br /><br />Publication date 18/07/07Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-42398029182086984042009-07-02T10:06:01.034+01:002009-07-02T10:06:01.034+01:00To all perverse self regulators, the court of publ...To all perverse self regulators, the court of public opinion condemns you for years of cover up's. <br /><br />Your days for doing what you please are numbered. <br /><br />You are only hanging on to self regulation because you have supporters in the right places.<br /><br />The public know you maintain your current status because of a rotten corrupt system.

With regard to immediate changes I like many other people do not expect any soon, but I firmly believe change will come. <br /><br />The culture of the current system as you point out is a lawyer loving parliament, but all through history there has been injustice and the perpetrators were overcome. One day these lawyers will not be able to investigate complaints from clients. They are against the ropes just now. One example of a man who I am sure would have believed he was invincible is Douglas Mill. Innocent men do not run Douglas. Your resignation was poetic justice. <br /><br />More and more members of the public distrust lawyers and politicians. The blacked out documents from Westminster and the SLCC, are a public relations disaster. Sites naming and shaming law firms, I could go on. These changes demonstrate your site and other sites are putting great pressure on the legal establishment, and they are impotent because they are guilty. Your blog is excellent and we keep fighting. They will not keep self regulation, but this will only be accomplished when no lawyers or their sympathisers are involved in the complaints process.<br /><br />The lawyers talk about a Justice System, in reality it is a Justice System and lawyer support system. This is in conflict with natural justice when a powerful minority can do as they please. Kenny MacAskill and his lot are criminals who operate under that most corrupt system, self regulation. No wonder Scotland has been called a banana republic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-36479719434552505672009-07-01T22:42:55.548+01:002009-07-01T22:42:55.548+01:00Yes full of criminals who aide and abet more crimi...Yes full of criminals who aide and abet more criminals while we pay their bloody mortgages.<br />DISGUSTINGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-87803280459462224542009-07-01T21:09:49.945+01:002009-07-01T21:09:49.945+01:00I have been writing to my msp for months about a c...I have been writing to my msp for months about a complaint against my local hospital and when she eventually had a meeting with the hospital manager who denied everything of course when I asked her what happened and what was said she wrote to me and said she forgot !<br /><br />Scottish Parliament is absolutely uselessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-77176426242745341842009-07-01T18:53:14.082+01:002009-07-01T18:53:14.082+01:00# Anonymous @ 2.30pm

On the contrary the evidence proves beyond all doubt that your colleagues are corrupt.

The first ten years of devolution prove we have a lawyer loving parliament. Step forward candidates who will fight for the Scottish electorate, not cowards and lawyer lovers such as MacAskill. <br /><br />Finally, Kenny the letter I send to you regarding the FOI Act not applying to the Law Society. I do not believe I will receive a response, because I sent you a letter before and got no reply.
