German 'Robin Hood' banker gets suspended sentence

A German bank employee who secretly transferred money from rich to poor clients has been given a 22-month suspended prison term. The 62-year-old woman, dubbed the 'Robin Hood Banker', moved more than $11m (£7m) in 117 transfers. The court in Bonn was told that the employee, who has not been named, took no money for herself. The bank made a loss of more than $1.5m (£1m) when poor customers were unable to pay back unauthorised overdrafts. The employee was accused of allowing overdrafts for customers who would not normally qualify for them. Small pension She then used the money from richer customers to temporarily disguise the loans during the bank's monthly audit of overdrafts. The woman has begun reimbursing the bank for the losses, reportedly from a small retirement pension. She could have faced a four-year prison sentence, but the court decided on leniency as she had confessed immediately and did not profit personally. The woman was also considered to have suffered enough, through the loss of her job and the requirement that she pay back the lost funds. (my view)-The woman did NOTHING wrong..the rich have it made.......they do not struggle and this just proves the helping the poor and doing the right thing.....gets you arrested ect.....A FUCKING HATE THE GOVERNMENT...we want want want..thats all you think about....MORE MONEY! sick

Boy, 4, stabbed to death at flat

Murder detectives are waiting to question a father suspected of stabbing his four-year-old son to death before injuring himself. Officers were called to a flat in Southwark, south London, on Monday after people heard a violent argument. Police found the body of a boy with knife wounds. The 31-year-old father is under guard at a south London hospital. His 28-year-old wife suffered a stab wound to the neck but has been discharged. A 17-month-old girl was found unharmed at the address in Lynton Road at about 1800 GMT. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the man, whose condition is described as "serious", remains under guard in hospital. Officers from the force's child abuse investigation command were waiting to arrest and question him. The spokesman added that no-one has been arrested and officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the alleged stabbing. The police spokesman said: "At this stage, officers are looking into all the circumstances surrounding the child's death. "There have been no arrests and they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident." People living on the Lynton Road estate spoke of their shock at the boy's death. Joan Dixon, 39, who has lived on the estate for 23 years, said: "What I heard was screaming, then my mum saw the police turn up. "We saw the ambulance turn up and they were doing everything they could to resuscitate the man." Her mother Rita Dixon, 71, said: "I saw a man on a stretcher - they were resuscitating him halfway down the stairs and then outside. They were doing everything to sort him out." She said the family "never mixed with anyone, they kept themselves to themselves". Joan Dixon described the area as "no trouble" and "normal and quiet". The death is being investigated by officers led by Det Insp Keith Braithwaite, based at Stratford, east London. (my view)-The so-called father SHOULD be stabbed to death himself.......but justice will NOT be served..you mark my words!
