Ex-MEP jailed for fiddling expenses
Updated on 11 November 2009
A former MEP who admitted fiddling £39,000 expenses has been jailed for two years at London's Southwark Crown Court.
Tom Wise, who represented Ukip before turning independent, spent 13 months channelling the money into a bank account he secretly controlled.
The 61-year-old, of Ship Road, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, pretended the £3,000 "secretarial assistance allowance" he received every month was for his 62-year-old researcher Lindsay Jenkins.
