Thousands sign petition against trader’s eviction

More than 73,000 people have signed a petition against the deportation of a former UBS trader who was jailed for fraud in 2012. Kweku Adoboli was found guilty of two counts of fraud that resulted in losses of £1.4 billion and was released after serving half of his seven-year sentence.

The 38-year-old left Ghana at the age of four and has lived in the UK since he was 12.

Mr Adoboli was detained during a fortnightly checkin at Livingston Police Station in West Lothian on 3 September.
