Masked robber hid deadly machine gun at gran's
Ferry warned the driver and his passenger not to tell police about his whereabouts when they dropped him off at Royston Mains Crescent, or he would get his "associates to track them down and harm them".
On Wardieburn Place, Ferry then flagged down another private hire taxi driver, who mistakenly thought he was a booked fare.
Unemployed Ferry who was agitated and constantly making calls on two mobile phones asked him to drive to Straiton. He was dropped off at McDonald's and police officers later recognised Ferry on CCTV footage from the restaurant, leading to his arrest.
Mr Prentice said the first driver was off work for a month as he recovered from the trauma. He added: "This distressing matter has had a profound effect on the staff [at Laing]. Several staff members required counselling."
Of the watches that were stolen 22 Rolexes, two Cartiers and three Panerai timepieces worth more than 233,160 only the three that were dropped were recovered.
The extensive police raid at Chesser Grove, where Ferry lived with his brother and 77 year old grandmother, found half a kilogram of heroin.
Scales with traces of heroin and 3725 in cash were also seized, alongside the semi automatic machine gun,van cleef necklace fake wholesale, replica handgun and ammunition found beneath a coffee table. A bag of heroin was also found hidden under the bed in Ferry's cell after he was detained.
The court was shown footage of a ballistics expert at the Scottish Crime Campus at Gartcosh test firing the MAC 10 submachine gun, which has been used by US and UK special forces. The deadly bullets completely penetrated a ballistic soap, leaving a 28cm deep hole.
Mr Prentice said: "The gun serial number had been erased. It was in good working order. There had been some modifications."
The court heard that Ferry had a string of previous convictions for offences including housebreaking,van cleef clover fake necklace, car theft, crimes of violence, possession of weapons including an axe, assault to injury and drugs.
Ferry admitted committing the armed robbery, assaulting three Laing staff members and abducting and assaulting the taxi driver and passenger between Hanover Street and Royston Mains Crescent on March 2.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing the firearms, ammunition and the Class A drugs at Chesser Grove on March 5. All offences were committed while he had six outstanding bail orders.
Defence counsel Jack
Davidson QC said that while his client recognised that he had committed "very serious charges", he had not caused any physical harm.
Mr Davidson said: "He feels really bad about how the public were affected and asked me to apologise to them via the court."
He stressed that the imitation gun was not loaded, adding: "This was not the most sophisticated execution of a robbery, particularly in terms of the aftermath. The circumstances would suggest that there was no proper getaway strategy."
Lord Glennie told Ferry: "It's clear from the victim impact statement that it's had a lasting effect on the taxi driver."
He added: "It's a high powered, automatic firing gun, clearly deadly if used in anger. There's no excuse for possession. Offences of violence of the kind perpetrated by you cannot be tolerated."
The judge said he would have jailed Ferry for 17 and a half years had it not been for his early guilty plea, reducing the jail time to 13 years.
A relative shouted "love you son" from the public gallery as he was led down to the cells.
It is not clear how Ferry sourced the MAC 10, however, he is understood to have links to organised criminals well known to police. Such firearms can be obtained through sources, including the "dark web", an online network used by criminals to sell guns, drugs and post child pornography.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Houston hailed a "good result". He said: "We have got
someone who has put staff and members of the public in a real state of fear and a really terrifying situation.
"I can't underestimate how terrible an experience it's been for the public and the taxi driver, who was just doing his job. Thankfully this ended without any physical injury,van cleef and arpels replica necklace, but I'm sure he's been conscious of it.
"Firearms incidents are not common, but for such a weapon to be in the hands of someone is concerning."

pleads guilty to conspiracy count
The Shakespearean tragedy that was the life of Jesse Jackson Jr. came to its expected denouement Wednesday when the former Illinois congressman entered a guilty plea in federal court to a charge that he conspired to misuse more than $750,000 in campaign funds for his own benefit.
With his father, Jesse Jackson, the prominent civil rights leader and former presidential aspirant looking on, the younger Jackson entered his plea. His wife, former Chicago Alderwoman Sandi Jackson, is expected to plead guilty to filing false tax returns when she appears in court later.
"Sir, for years I lived off my campaign," Jackson told the judge in the case, according to media reports from the courtroom. "I used money I shouldn't have used for personal purposes."
"I did those things," he said more than once, referring to the prosecution charges.
Sentencing is expected in several weeks,van cleef arpels fake alhambra necklace. Jackson and his wife potentially face years in prison and possible fines.
The arc of Jackson's life follows that of a carefully structured dramatic tragedy. He was born into a hot political family and earned his spurs protesting for civil rights and against apartheid in South Africa.
He worked in his father's failed presidential campaign and moved on to the Democratic National Committee. From his earliest years,vca fake necklace, he was groomed as his father's political heir and there was even talk that he could become the nation's first African American president, a role the elder Jackson had once sought.
He eventually won an overwhelmingly Democratic House seat, first in a primary in which he was opposed by a candidate backed by then Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. After the primary,van cleef knock off necklaces, Jackson went on to easily defeat a Republican in the general election and never again had to worry about hearing political footsteps.
But even as he continued to rise on the political ladder, he was facing growing mental problems. In June 2012, Jackson took a medical leave of absence from the House, citing exhaustion. A month later, his office said he was being treated for a mood disorder at a residential treatment facility. By August, the media were reporting that Jackson was being treated for bipolar disorder.
Even amid his collapsing emotional health and frequent charges of ethical violations, Jackson was unbeatable in his district, though the honor of becoming the first black president went to another Chicago politician, Barack Obama.
Just 16 days after winning another term, Jackson resigned on Nov. 21, after 17 years in Congress.
Wednesday's formal pleas, part of negotiations with the federal prosecutors, were the just latest low rung in his political descent.
Jackson and wife have acknowledged that from 2006 through 2011, they understated their income by not including campaign funds that went for their personal use. Jackson,van cleef and arpel fake necklace, 47, used campaign money to buy items including a $43,350 gold plated men's Rolex watch and $9,587.64 worth of children's furniture, according to prosecutors. His wife spent $5,150 on furs, they said.
Prosecutors last week announced the formal charges against the couple. The conspiracy charge against the former congressman carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and other penalties. The charge against his wife carries a maximum of three years in prison. Sandi Jackson resigned her City Council seat last month.
Neither of the Jacksons would answer reporters' question when they entered court on Wednesday morning. Led by the senior Jackson, other members of the family linked arms and entered the court together.

Big Sean Denies He Ever Stole From Ex,van cleef arpels earrings alhambra replica
Big Sean and Naya Rivera's relationship heated up as quickly as it burnt out, but who could forget how bitter both parties subsequently became?
After deciding to call off their wedding, the rapper and his Glee starring ex started hating each other rather publicly and turned to social media, music and any forum they could find to trash one another. Rivera even went so far as to accuse her ex fianc of stealing a pricey Rolex watch from her. Maybe cuz I'm on Glee and making more money or something. triflin," she tweeted at the time. She later deleted it.
Although she married Ryan Dorsey three months later,replica van cleef onyx earrings, their apparent hatred for one another continued as the rapper then released "I Don't F k With You," which was rumored to be about his former flame. But in the February edition of Complex, the "Beware" rapper opens up about the theft his former fianc accused him of.
"First of all, why would I have to steal a Rolex?" he tells the mag. "Second of all, every Rolex that I have, I have receipts for, papers for, certificates of authenticity for. I would never steal a Rolex from anybody.
"You see [Naya's] tweet got deleted in like 20 seconds," he adds.
The Detroit born rapper doesn't comment on whether or not rumors of Rivera's alleged jealousy and controlling tendencies are true, but he does open up about the reason why their relationship dissolved. According to him, the couple began fighting more than they did anything else. But he does add that he "wasn't surprised" by her accusation.
"I felt like it was unnecessary drama 'cause in my eyes it wasn't true. I wasn't surprised by it,replica clover diamond earrings," he tells the mag. "Even though I didn't steal anything, I wasn't surprised by it."
Although he doesn't insult her in any way, that definitely doesn't sound like a compliment!
Now dating Ariana Grande, the hip hop star says that they began as really good friends, which is on of the aspects he respects most about their relationship.
"It was cool to have a girl that I could talk to about my problems,van cleef magic alhambra earrings replica," he dishes. "I did that with her. It's not some fake ass, inauthentic shit when I say we were friends. This is something special and I appreciate every moment of it."

year agony of mother's disappearance From The Argus
THE daughter of a killer who is serving a life sentence for murdering her mother says he should not be freed until he has said what he did with the body.
On Monday 25 years will have passed since Veronica Packman disappeared from the family home in Ipswich Road, Bournemouth. She was planning to divorce her husband Russell Causley.
His only daughter Samantha Gillingham, 41, asked: "How can that be correct? I think it's terrible. The law should be changed. It shouldn't be that all you
have to do is sit tight,replica van cleef vintage alhambra earrings."
She said her father had asked to be recategorised last year as the first step towards being moved to an open prison, where he would be prepared for freedom.
Mrs Gillingham, who plans to write to the Prime Minister, said: "They are starting to go through the process regardless of the fact that my father has never admitted anything. I hope David Cameron
will give me some sort of assurance that this will be looked at and he won't be allowed to go free,replica vans earrings.
"We don't know where my mother is. Just because it's 25 years, it doesn't make it any better. It doesn't go away. If I did know where she was, I would have had closure a long time ago."
About a year before Mrs Packman went missing, her husband moved his mistress Patricia Causley into the house in Westbourne.
Mrs Gillingham, then only 16, remembers coming back from a day in London with her father in June 1985 and finding her mother's wedding ring in the kitchen with a note saying she had left.
She found her mother's clothes, jewellery and Rolex watch were still in the bedroom and a favourite red evening dress had been deliberately ripped. "Somebody set the scene for when I came home,van cleef small earrings replica,"
she said.
A spokesman for the Parole Board said it only had to be satisfied that there was a minimal risk of reoffending. "In coming to a judgement,replica clover earrings van cleef, we would take into account his attitude towards his
offence.
A Dorset Police spokesman said: "We are hopeful that Russell Causley will one day tell us the location of Veronica's body, which has not
"It may be that someone somewhere, perhaps several people, has been keeping information that could help the police to themselves for whatever reasons.

WATCH thief persuade jeweller to let him try on Rolex before running away
This is the dramatic moment a brazen thief persuaded a jeweller to let him try on a 8,000 Rolex watch before running out of the store and getting away.
Store manager Diane Devonshire had just placed the stainless steel watch on the man's wrist when he turned on his heels and fled.
Mrs Devonshire, who runs David Mellor Jewellers in Eastleigh, Hampshire, said she tried not to 'judge a book by its cover' when she allowed him to try on one of the shop's most expensive items.

Wayne Taylor Racing wins Rolex 24 at Daytona
Wayne Taylor Racing has won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, thanks to a controversial pass by Ricky Taylor in the closing minutes.
Taylor drove hard into Turn 1, breaking late, and turned race leader Filipe Albuquerque. IMSA officials reviewed the contact and ruled no action would be taken against Taylor.
So Taylor was out front the rest of the way and gave Wayne Taylor Racing its first Rolex 24 victory since 2005. Ricky Jordan,van cleef necklace pink replica, younger brother Jordan, veteran Max Angelelli and retired NASCAR star Jeff Gordon celebrated the victory.
The team came oh so close the last four years, finishing with four straight podium finishes but failing to get the win and the coveted Rolex watch. Gordon joined Angelelli and the Taylor boys this year in hopes of getting them over the top.
Joey Hand and Chip Ganassi Racing are closing in on another pricey wristwatch.
With two hours remaining in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Hand and the Ford factory program is in contention for the one victory that eluded them last year.
Hand, who helped Ganassi win the 2011 Rolex race and took home an expensive chronograph, had the lead in the GT Le Mans class. He in one of four Chip Ganassi Racing entries, and his car won its class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 when Ford made its highly anticipated return to the most prestigious endurance race in the world.
But Ford has been clear it also wants a win at Daytona. A year ago, the program was brand new and the Ford cars were simply trying to figure some things out and get to the finish. Ford toughest competition in the final two years will be from a Corvette, a Ferrari and a Porsche. The GTLM class has been the most competitive at Daytona this weekend.
Max Angelelli says he driven his last stint in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Angelelli took the lead on a restart Sunday morning, lost control and spun in the bus stop chicane, surrendered a 12 second lead and then recovered before getting out of the No. 10 Cadillac for good.
When he climbed out of the Wayne Taylor Racing prototype car, he was still in first place overall.
just wanted to have the best race of my life, and I think I did pretty well, Angelelli said.
Jordan Taylor replaced Angelelli with a little more than four hours to go, and although the team lost on the lead on the pit stop, Taylor got it back almost immediately when Christian Fittipaldi of Action Express Racing spun in the international horseshoe.
Jordan Taylor older brother, Ricky, is expected to close out the 24 hour endurance race and drive the final two hours or so.
Four time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is likely done driving for the team in this event. Gordon drove three stints over two sessions,van cleef magic alhambra necklace replica, including one in pouring rain. Angelelli kept the car near the front in similar conditions.
He put it in the top spot shortly before pulling into the pits. Now, he will watch the Taylor brothers try to close out what would be Wayne Taylor Racing first Rolex 24 victory since 2005.

Daylight has the Rolex 24 at Daytona mostly back to normal,van arpels and cleef necklace fake.
Heavy rain and puddles around the 3.56 mile road course at Daytona International Speedway forced a lengthy caution in the wee hours Sunday morning. The yellow flag flew so long that IMSA officials had to swap pace cars because one started to run out of gas,van cleef rose gold necklace replica.
But daylight brought drier and safer conditions, and cars were back running full speed with about 6 + hours remaining in the 24 hour endurance race.
is some of the sketchiest condition we seen in a long time, driver Andy Lally said.
The No. 10 Cadillac for Wayne Taylor Racing is back in the lead, with Jeff Gordon, Max Angelelli and brothers Ricky and Jordan Taylor looking like the favorites to win the overall championship.
Jeff Gordon, Max Angelelli and the Taylor brothers are halfway home to a Rolex 24 at Daytona championship.
Angelelli, driving the No. 10 Cadillac for Wayne Taylor Racing, is out front at the midway point of the 24 hour endurance race at Daytona International Speedway. Angelelli is about a minute ahead of Renger van der Zande, who is driving the No. 90 Riley for VisitFlorida Racing.
If Angelelli and his teammates can stay there, they would clinch a victory in Gordon first Rolex 24 race in a decade and give Angelelli a win in his final race. Angelelli is retiring as a full time driver and focusing on co owning the team and running the Cadillac program.
Other class leaders at the halfway mark: Joey Hand in the No. 66 Ford in the GT Le Mans class; Nicholas Boulle in the No. 38 Oreca in the Prototype Challenge class; and Jeff Segel in the No. 86 Acura in the GT Daytona class.
The Tequila Patron team has reason for some late night shots.
Brendon Hartley, driving on cold tires, turned into a Porsche driven by Wolf Henzler and crashed hard into the outside wall at Daytona International Speedway with about 14 hours to go in the Rolex 24 race early Sunday. Hartley No. 22 Nissan came to rest near the bus stop and had to be loaded onto a flatbed tow truck and taken to the garage.
Wayne Taylor Racing has won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, thanks to a controversial pass by Ricky Taylor in the closing minutes.
Taylor drove hard into Turn 1, breaking late, and turned race leader Filipe Albuquerque. IMSA officials reviewed the contact and ruled no action would be taken against Taylor.
So Taylor was out front the rest of the way and gave Wayne Taylor Racing its first Rolex 24 victory since 2005. Ricky Jordan,van cleef necklace pink replica, younger brother Jordan, veteran Max Angelelli and retired NASCAR star Jeff Gordon celebrated the victory.
The team came oh so close the last four years, finishing with four straight podium finishes but failing to get the win and the coveted Rolex watch. Gordon joined Angelelli and the Taylor boys this year in hopes of getting them over the top.
Joey Hand and Chip Ganassi Racing are closing in on another pricey wristwatch.
With two hours remaining in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Hand and the Ford factory program is in contention for the one victory that eluded them last year.
Hand, who helped Ganassi win the 2011 Rolex race and took home an expensive chronograph, had the lead in the GT Le Mans class. He in one of four Chip Ganassi Racing entries, and his car won its class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 when Ford made its highly anticipated return to the most prestigious endurance race in the world.
But Ford has been clear it also wants a win at Daytona. A year ago, the program was brand new and the Ford cars were simply trying to figure some things out and get to the finish. Ford toughest competition in the final two years will be from a Corvette, a Ferrari and a Porsche. The GTLM class has been the most competitive at Daytona this weekend.
Max Angelelli says he driven his last stint in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

7 Women Who Put Their Lady Parts to Horribly Practical Uses
Sometime in my youth I ran across the term "penis envy." I didn't really know what it meant, but it did sound funny. Later I found out it means all ladies want what I got, and that made perfect sense. But I never knew if there was an opposite condition, a vagina envy, vagenvy, if you will, whereby a man feels like he's missing something by not having a vagina. In our patriarchal Western society, this seemed almost anathema, but couldn't it be possible? Couldn't a man look at his spongy, disappointing flesh dongle and wish that he had something more pragmatic down there? I'm here to tell you yes. Because women of industry have taken hold of their vaginas, mostly literally, and done something with them. How would you approach life, what would you do first? For women, "pee standing up" is often the go to answer for this. on BBC3, which is easily thrice as cool as BBC1,van cleef onyx necklace replica, a woman was whisked away to the ER complaining of abdominal pains that, as it turned out, were a result of her having rolled up a poster of Donny Osmond and thrust it deep into her clamarama. Most of us would probably conclude that this was at least a possible source of discomfort all on our own, even with no medical training, if a similar situation presented itself. Like you'd be home watching American Horror Story thinking "Man, my guts is a hurtin' real bad. I have sat in a chair and watched strange boobies jiggling to modern pop hits while I drank grossly overpriced drinks. And once I saw a lady who went above and beyond the call of duty by, for her headlining act, applying a flammable special effects gel to her flower and setting it ablaze with a torch. I want you to really get in the moment with me and imagine this a naked woman, with a torch in her hand, lighting her own passage to Venus aflame for my entertainment. It was quite an evening at the theater, let me tell you.
I bring up the flaming vagina story to set the framework for this next tale of incendiary crotches to ease you into it. I don't want you to think this is an isolated incident there are flaming vaginas practically falling out of trees around here. Also at soccer games."My vagina is the game. The game is my vagina."
I guess in Russia there's a constant problem with fans smuggling firecrackers into games. Like all the time. All the time women put explosives in their vaginas and go watch a soccer game and then, when it seems like a good idea, they birth their bang baby and set him ablaze and just toss him at the team they don't like. This is what happened when some lady hooligan blew up the Moscow Dynamo goalkeeper's face by vag blasting him with a firecracker in the middle of a game.
Remember this the next time someone tries to explain to you why soccer is a good sport. It's not. Soccer is a sport at which people have literally been decapitated by fans and women shoot explosives out of their vaginas. Mars changed the lyrics later when focus groups rejected the notion that anyone would ever put a grenade in their vagina. Well, eat a steaming sack of dicks, focus groups, because I have a story for you.
A woman in El Salvador was visiting a friend in prison when officials discovered that she was bringing more than just good cheer and Salvadoran well wishing she had an in her mossy doughnut. military frag grenades that have been in use since the mid '70s and are not recommended for vaginal use, according to any of the info I could find online. Some jobs even make you do that to test for drugs,van cleef green necklace replica, as if going to work high was a crime or something.
Mischelle Salzgeber, who not only can't spell her name, but was on probation, had to pass a drug test to prove she was still probatable, or something like that. Not wanting to cramp her style by not doing drugs while on probation, she so did drugs while on probation. Then she set about on a plan only a truly drug addled mind could conceive of. To fool the drug test, she would insert a small bottle of someone else's urine inside of herself. Yes, a small vodka bottle filled with the urine of an entirely different drug addict, who failed the test anyway. It was almost too easy. I'd enjoyed a few drinks at this point and discussed business with Q, as well as local weather, ladies, and the police. He eventually talked me into buying a $15 Rolex watch, which seemed like the deal of a lifetime. Q promised he was not bullshitting me and that it was a legit Rolex and he was giving it to me for that awesome price because he liked me and not because it was a terrible, awful scam.
Part of me hoped that Q was being straight up with me, that we had bonded and he wasn't lying. This was a real Rolex. I mean, it had to be stolen, but I was OK with that, because $15 for a stolen Rolex is a great deal. Rolexes cost thousands of dollars. But in the sober light of the next day, it became remarkably clear that this was no kind of Rolex, because I paid $15. It said Rolex and everything, but come on. The watch I bought wasn't even fit for storing in a vagina. Oh, was that a segue? It was!
Ryan Elkins, a 23 year old lady of somewhat ill repute, was arrested in South Florida as part of a little scam that saw her and several others absconding with men's valuables, including wallets and watches,alhambra necklace van cleef fake, which they got hold of at bars and nightclubs.
Numerous men fell victim to Elkins and three others, including a New York Giant who lost nearly half a million in jewelry. Others are pretty sure the women drugged them before picking them clean. But how does a lady steal that much stuff and get away with it? When police caught up with Elkins,van cleef and arpels necklace fake, she had her latest victim's $25,000 Rolex nestled deep in the grassy knoll, depreciating by the second.

Worker Says Scheming Began Early
leasing official testified yesterday, he agreed to travel to Las Vegas, stay at the sumptuous Bellagio hotel on Jemal's tab and hide the trip from his city bosses. Over drinks in the Bellagio bar with his host, Lorusso said, he hurriedly struck a deal for the city to pay Jemal's company, Douglas Development Corp., the eye popping fee of $120,000 an acre to rent land for a vehicle impound lot for one year three times what Jemal had recently paid to buy the land outright.
And with that, the much anticipated government witness in Jemal's bribery trial said, he began to put in 10 and 12 hour days officially on the city payroll but secretly working for Jemal. property management, admitted concocting a string of frauds so the city would pay Jemal exorbitant prices for his properties and even for work the company never did.
Lorusso,van cleef fake necklaces, when asked by prosecutors why he falsified invoices in fall 2001 so the city would have to pay twice for $325,000 worth of work for which Jemal had been given a city check to pay the contractor, said his reasoning was the same as with all the other schemes.
"It was just another way to get in the good graces of Douglas Development," he said.
Lorusso's testimony is the linchpin in the government's effort to convict Jemal, his son Norman Jemal and Jemal leasing agent Blake Esherick on charges of providing bribes to a city official. Council investigation and the city auditor found evidence of fraud and theft in Lorusso's dealings with Jemal and another city contractor. Lorusso later pleaded guilty to bribery conspiracy charges and is aiding prosecutors in hopes of getting a lighter prison sentence.
Defense attorneys have argued in court that Jemal, his son and Esherick gave gifts to Lorusso because he was their friend, not because they expected favors. They say Lorusso is lying to limit his prison time. District Court yesterday,van cleef knock off necklace, Lorusso appeared much changed. His hair is graying where it was once jet black. He wore an accountant's wire rimmed glasses instead of his sporty, blue tinted glasses. His old swagger and braggadocio were gone, replaced by a meek voice.
From the start, Lorusso said, he and Jemal's team had an understanding that Lorusso would also enjoy some financial profits from the corrupt city deals Lorusso crafted. Lorusso recounted receiving $10,000 in cash in a white envelope in the main conference room in Douglas Development Corp. offices after Esherick told Lorusso there was "something for him" in a cigar humidor there. Other gifts included a Rolex watch,van cleef fake necklace, a free overhaul of his Audi convertible and free dinners and drinks at the Capital Grille, a favorite hangout of Jemal's, at least 15 times.
While Norman Jemal was paying $543 a night for Lorusso and his brother to stay at the Bellagio in May 2001, Lorusso spent a total of 10 minutes with Jemal to arrange a $989,000 a year lease for Jemal's property at 4800 Addison Road in Capitol Heights to be the city's new impound lot.
That summer, Lorusso said, he confided to Esherick that he had a lot of student loans and that "my salary was not meeting my personal needs." Lorusso said Esherick told him he was worried about his long term financial future if Jemal should promote his sons and push Esherick out. The two hatched an idea,vca knock off necklace, Lorusso said, to create a "special projects" fund in Lorusso's office and tap it for cash using phony invoices.
In July, Lorusso said he approved paying Jemal $38,000 for unspecified "move in" damage after a city agency relocated to Jemal's office building at 77 P Street NE, although he saw no substantial damage.
In September, Lorusso said he was urged by then Deputy Mayor Eric Price to find a way to spend $1 million that the city was required to spend to help small businesses find cheap office space. Lorusso instead created an invoice that made it appear Jemal had to be reimbursed roughly $929,000 for renovating basement offices at 77 P Street. No such work had been done.

Penalties Are Few In Dental Fraud Cases
In a December 2000 raid of his house, agents found his garage converted into a climate controlled wine cellar and his house filled with rare collectibles, some bought from Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses.
Among the items seized:
More than 4,550 bottles of vintage wines. He had an 1820 bottle of Boal Solera Madeira and five bottles of 1870 Justino Boal Madeira, which sell at online auctions for hundreds apiece.
More than 55 rare books, mainly Bibles and Hebrew texts, such as a 1609 Arias Montano Hebrew Bible. These sell online for hundreds or thousands each.
A 20 page list of artwork and antique prints, such as a 1530 map of the Seven Seas,van cleef and arpels butterfly fake necklace, a 1774 map of the Holy Land and works by artist Marc Chagall.
Sterling silver such as tea services, 11 boxes of silverware, lamps, goblets and bowls.
More than 100 pieces of fine jewelry, such as a Rolex watch, thick gold bracelets and sets of necklaces, earrings and bracelets studded with diamonds and sapphires.
Two Infiniti cars driven by his wife, Arlene, and a step daughter.
"He was living pretty high off Medicaid dollars," Kogan said.
Investigators found Berger paid for some items with checks from his dental corporations, linking the goods to the Medicaid case.
Berger is contesting the seizures in court.
A main dentist in Berger's group, Dr. Daniel E. Kelly of Plantation, told prosecutors Berger recruited him to the network around June 1, 1998.
Over the next year or so, prosecutors said Berger's drivers brought hundreds of children to the Carol City office of Kelly, 68, and his son, Dr. Daniel G. Kelly of Coral Springs. The senior Kelly said Berger paid him $72,687 during that time.
Kelly has pleaded not guilty to racketeering and nine counts of Medicaid fraud. His son pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge and is awaiting sentencing.
Under the system, a dentist saw from 30 to 50 children in a day. The office billed Medicaid an average of $200 each, Brahm said, half of which was profit. Dentists in groups turned over the money to the manager and typically were paid $500 a day.

Investigators suspect the children did not get as much dental care as was billed to Medicaid, but said they are focusing on the easier to prove charge of paying drivers,van cleef knock off alhambra necklace, which they called illegal kickbacks. They have persuaded dozens of drivers to testify and did not charge about 50 other known drivers.
The state's theory of the crime is being vigorously attacked by lawyers for Berger, dentists and other alleged organizers. There's a lot at stake. A conviction on organized Medicaid fraud means mandatory jail time.
Dentists and managers are arguing that only the drivers broke the law, which forbids paying incentives to recruit Medicaid patients.
It's not illegal to pay drivers to transport patients, the lawyers said, and the dentists never knew drivers were paying children.
That very argument persuaded a judge to throw out the charges against Hollywood dentist Thomas Krakauer,clover fake necklace van cleef, who was accused of collecting $6 million through a driver network at his north Miami Dade County office.
"What was pushing this particular train was this group of drivers that had found this golden egg," said Krakauer's attorney, Alvin Entin. "It's a lot sexier to arrest dentists."
Krakauer's win and a Florida Supreme Court ruling that chiropractors can recruit accident victims undermine the state's case, said Berger's attorney, Bruce Lehr.
"As long as the witnesses tell the truth, Dr. Berger will have nothing to worry about," Lehr said.
One accused organizer, Dr. Charles Kravitz of Weston, operated legally by assigning drivers a list of children to monitor and bring in every six months, not at random, said his attorney, Brian Bieber. All had parental consent slips. Kravitz was charged with fraudulently collecting $700,000 at three Broward County offices.
Kravitz pleaded not guilty to one count of Medicaid fraud and 14 counts of filing a false Medicaid claim.
In a December 2000 raid of his house, agents found his garage converted into a climate controlled wine cellar and his house filled with rare collectibles, some bought from Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses.
Among the items seized:
More than 4,550 bottles of vintage wines. He had an 1820 bottle of Boal Solera Madeira and five bottles of 1870 Justino Boal Madeira, which sell at online auctions for hundreds apiece.
More than 55 rare books, mainly Bibles and Hebrew texts, such as a 1609 Arias Montano Hebrew Bible. These sell online for hundreds or thousands each.
A 20 page list of artwork and antique prints, such as a 1530 map of the Seven Seas,van cleef and arpels butterfly fake necklace, a 1774 map of the Holy Land and works by artist Marc Chagall.
Sterling silver such as tea services, 11 boxes of silverware, lamps, goblets and bowls.
More than 100 pieces of fine jewelry, such as a Rolex watch, thick gold bracelets and sets of necklaces, earrings and bracelets studded with diamonds and sapphires.
Two Infiniti cars driven by his wife, Arlene, and a step daughter.
"He was living pretty high off Medicaid dollars," Kogan said.
Investigators found Berger paid for some items with checks from his dental corporations, linking the goods to the Medicaid case.
Berger is contesting the seizures in court.
A main dentist in Berger's group, Dr. Daniel E. Kelly of Plantation, told prosecutors Berger recruited him to the network around June 1, 1998.
Over the next year or so, prosecutors said Berger's drivers brought hundreds of children to the Carol City office of Kelly, 68, and his son, Dr. Daniel G. Kelly of Coral Springs. The senior Kelly said Berger paid him $72,687 during that time.
Kelly has pleaded not guilty to racketeering and nine counts of Medicaid fraud. His son pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge and is awaiting sentencing.
