UK to transfer 534 Nigerian prisoners home

Hundreds of Nigerian criminals will be sent home to serve out prison sentences under a deal set to be struck by ministers within weeks, according to a report by UK Daily Mail

Talks are continuing into reaching a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement, which could see more than half of the 500 criminals from Nigeria currently in UK jails repatriated.

Prisons minister Jeremy Wright told MailOnline how 'more foreign prisoners must serve their sentences in their own countries'.

Ministers have been ordered to step up efforts to end the scandal of more than one in eight prisoners being from overseas. David Cameron vowed to end the practice of the British taxpayer picking up the bill for criminals with no business in the UK.

UK Prime Minister said in 2010 that he would ’personally intervene’ to send more foreign criminals home.

Britain has even made clear it would pay to build new prisons in countries like Nigeria to speed up the process of sending foreign criminals home. Up to £1million has been promised to upgrade Nigerian jails, including a new wing at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos.

Securing an agreement with Nigeria would be seen as a much more significant breakthrough. Latest figures show there were 534 Nigerian nationals in British jails, 485 men and 49 women.

 Nigerians account for one in 20 of all foreign prisoners, putting the country fifth in the league table of nations whose citizens have been jailed in the UK. Justice Minister Mr Wright said: ‘I am clear that more foreign prisoners must serve their sentences in their own countries.  ‘That is why we are currently working with the Nigerian Government on a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement to increase the number of prisoners who are transferred. ‘Legislation allowing Nigeria to enter such an arrangement was passed earlier this year by the Nigerian Parliament. We are now working with them on the text of a final agreement.’ Overflowing jails abroad have made it increasingly difficult to deport prisoners to their own country. It is argued that by paying for building new jails or making existing ones more ‘comfortable’ so they approach British standards, will be repatriated.

The Feds are reportedly asking questions about Diddy 'having sexual relations with underage boys'

A shocking allegation is being levied by music manager turned cocaine kingpin Jimmy 'Henchman' Rosemond, who is currently in federal prison on drug trafficking charges. According to a recent report, Jimmy said he was asked by federal investigations if his former business partner Sean 'Diddy' Combs had sex with underage boys...See the full report below...from The Smoking Gun

During a debriefing session with federal investigators, James Rosemond, the music manager-turned-cocaine kingpin, was reportedly questioned about the sexual preferences of entertainers, including whether Sean “Diddy” Combs was “having sexual relationships with under age boys,” according to a U.S. District Court filing 

In his September 6 affidavit, Rosemond (seen at above right) contended that he reluctantly agreed to the proffer sessions arranged by Gerald Shargel, his former lawyer. Rosemond added that investigators sought to get him to confess to crimes for which he had no involvement. “When the defendant said he didn’t know about a certain event…they accused him of lying,” Rosemond claimed.

The confrontational sessions turned “awkward,” Rosemond stated, when an investigator showed him “naked pictures” of different women. The purpose of this purported investigative technique is not revealed in Rosemond’s affidavit.
A prosecutor, Rosemond continued, then “asked about entertainers sexual preferences, including, but not only, Sean Combs having sexual relationships with under age boys.” Again, Rosemond provided no context for these alleged queries.
Rosemond was also quizzed during an October 4 session about his contacts with several public figures, including, Rev. Al Sharpton, and musician Wyclef Jean.
During Rosemond’s trial, Shargel complained to Judge John Gleeson that federal prosecutors and agents were only seeking “trophies” when they questioned Rosemond about celebrities during the proffer sessions. And, when Rosemond provided nothing of substance on the high-profile figures, “disappointed” investigators rejected his client’s bid for a cooperation deal. Prosecutors countered Shargel’s claim, declaring that Rosemond was untrustworthy and lied during the debriefing sessions.
Investigators eventually declined to cut a deal with Rosemond, who was subsequently convicted at trial of running a drug ring that sold millions of dollars’s worth of cocaine. Rosemond, who is nicknamed “Jimmy Henchman,” faces a mandatory term of life in prison when sentenced October 25 in Brooklyn federal court.

The superyacht of the future:

The superyacht of the future: The stunning fleet designed by British architect that looks set to become the next must-have billionaire's toy.

 With its sleek weave of intertwining curves and its spacecraft-like design, it looks more akin to Beijing's famous 'Bird's Nest' Olympic stadium than something that would take to the open waters of the sea.But this is the superyacht of the future, likely to become the latest plaything for the uber-rich and the envy of everyone else who will be unable to afford it.
This is the first yacht designed by award winning architect Dame Zaha Hadid, the brains behind the iconic Aquatics Centre built in London for last summer's Olympics.

The Iraqi-born British based architect designed a family of the futuristic superyachts for German shipbuilders Blohm+Voss.
The upper 'mesh-like' structure of the stunning design connects the different decks of the 90 metre long vessels.
At the heart of five smaller yachts is a 128 metre 'mothership'.

She told Dezeen: 'As a dynamic object that moves in dynamic environments, the design of a yacht must incorporate additional parameters beyond those for architecture – which all become much more extreme on water.
'Each yacht is an engineered platform that integrates specific hydrodynamic and structural demands together with the highest levels of comfort, spatial quality and safety.'
The 2004 Pritzer Architecture Prize winner has previously won worldwide acclaim for some of her iconic buildings.
She famously designed the Aquatic Centre for the London 2012 Olympic Games and the futuristic Riverside Museum in Glasgow.
WOW!

Soulja Boy Sued For Bentley Hit-and-Run

Soulja Boy just got nailed with a lawsuit over an alleged hit-and-run in an accident involving his very expensive Bentley.

TMZ broke the story ... one of S.B.'s friends -- Abrahim Mustafa -- was cruising around in the Bentley in January when the car slammed into a motorcycle.  The impact sent Gabor Turi flying off his bike ... causing some pretty nasty injuries ... and the Bentley sped off into the Hollywood darkness.
Cops didn't make an arrest until May ... after a friend of Turi's nosed around the site of the impact and found a valet at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles who ID'd the Bentley and knew Soulja owned it.
Here's the problem for Soulja.  In California, the owner of a vehicle who gives someone permission to drive is responsible when the driver screws up.  Thus the lawsuit.

Kim K's engagement ring from Kris Humphries sells at auction for $620k

Kim Kardashian's engagement ring from ex-husband Kris Humphries has been sold at auction for $620, 000. The ring which Kim paid for herself, but weirdly returned to Kris after she broke up with him was sold today Tuesday October 15th at a Christie's auction in NYC, Us Weekly reports.

The unknown buyer bought the Lorraine Schwartz creation, which features a 16.21-carat center diamond and two 1.8-carat side diamonds for a total of $749,000, which is plus tax.

The amount is a significant drop from the ring's initial reported worth of $2 million.

"Kim has been waiting for the day he would auction it. Everyone always asked what Kim did with the ring - she silently gave it back over a year ago! And Kris waited until the divorce was final to sell it." a source told Us Weekly

"The ring is definitely not worth $2 million, not even half of that," sniffs the source. Indeed, Kardashian, not Humphries, initially paid for the ring herself.
