Asil Nadir Convicted Of More Theft Charges

Former Polly Peck tycoon Asil Nadir has been found guilty of six more charges of theft at the Old Bailey.

Nadir, 71, was cleared of a seventh charge of theft and the jury are still considering a further two counts.

The 10 jurors have already found him guilty of three counts amounting to the theft of £5.5m, and cleared him of a fourth count.

Nadir, of Mayfair, London, is accused of plundering millions from his Polly Peck International business empire between 1987 and 1990.

He denied 13 counts of theft of £34m at the Old Bailey.

The multi-millionaire fled Britain in 1993 but returned in 2010 to face trial.
