And YOU pay his £56 parking bill

AS WELL as allowing convicted criminal Adrian Preda to stay in Britain, the judge also agreed to reimburse him for the cost of parking for his court appearances.

The Romanian gangster was charged £14 to leave his £60,000 BMW on each of the four occasions he was ordered to appear before Westminster magistrates in central London – a total of £56.

His lawyer, Benjamin Seifert, asked for the parking costs to be reimbursed.

District judge Robin McPhee granted the request, meaning the taxpayer will have to foot the bill.

Defendants who are found not guilty or have their case dismissed can reclaim some of their expenses and costs.
