The entrepreneur Gerald Ronson has finally lifted the lid on the 20-year-old Guinness shares scandal in an explosive new memoir.
In "Gerald Ronson: Leading From the Front", by Jeffrey Robinson, which is being serialised in the Daily Express, Mr Ronson unravels the City scandal which resulted in his imprisonment and accuses Judge Denis Henry, the presiding judge in the case, of "not caring less that our rights as British subjects were being violated. He wanted a conviction..."
Mr Ronson recalls: "I looked into the eyes of the jurors and saw people staring back at four rich defendants, three of whom were Jewish and one of whom, Saunders, they thought was Jewish, and knew they were thinking to themselves: 'Let's get even with these greedy rich bastards.'
"It cost the taxpayer around £7.5 million to find me guilty of conspiracy, theft and false accountiing. [Ernest] Saunders and [Sir Jack] Lyons were convicted of the same charges. [Tony] Parnes was found guilty of theft and false accounting.
