“The family are desperate to get back home and to get the children back to school. We are here to support them all the way,” Mr Rowlands said.A spokeswoman for Mr Blunkett said: “It is the Home Secretary’s view that this will create such a precedent that every illegal immigrant and failed asylum-seeker will cite psychological damages to frustrate the proper operation of asylum laws.” The Government would seek leave to appeal, she added.Keith Best, the chief executive of the Immigration Advisory Service, said the decision could have a huge impact on Mr Blunkett’s plans to reform the asylum system. The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill proposes sending some unsuccessful asylum applicants to other countries and forcing them to conduct their appeals from there.. White-collar criminals should be dealt with as severely as gangs of drug dealers and racketeers, the head of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) will say today. “All too often he cannot do that without the help of other criminals who have, all too frequently, qualifications as lawyers, accountants or bankers.”SFO investigators are looking at a number of law firms where they suspect solicitors of being involved in multimillion-pound money laundering offences.In one case, says Ms Wright, a lawyer “groomed” a solicitor in another firm to commit a string of mortgage frauds. In another, which resulted in a conviction, a solicitor helped criminals fraudulently obtain $19m (£12m) from victims all over the world.”Please be under no illusions,” Ms Wright will say. “The money launderer who helps criminals enjoy the fruits of their crimes is just as much a criminal himself.”Speaking at an international conference of prosecutors in London, she will call for a change in approach to the treatment of white-collar crime.

“The sort of criminals who make use of gaps in banking supervision, who take advantage of eyes that are shut to tax evasion, or of money emanating from drug deals, prostitution rings or the trafficking in human beings, will not hesitate to use guns, bombs and any other means at their disposal to protect themselves and their cash,” she will say.”We need a culture which rejects money laundering and regards it as unacceptable to accept money from dubious sources. To help criminals must be regarded as unacceptable and those who are known to facilitate it should become pariahs within the financial services sector.”Solicitors, independent financial advisors and accountants are obvious targets for criminals but others may also be drawn into the process, warns the SFO. But Ms Wright is concerned that although many money laundering cases involve funds controlled by accountants and solicitors, professionals continue to account for only a tiny proportion of suspicious financial transaction disclosures.The National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS), which receives these reports, has found that 62 per cent of disclosures come from banks, 15 per cent from bureaux de change and 7 per cent from building societies. Reports from solicitors account for just 1 per cent of disclosures; accountants are responsible for even fewer.”Professionals must be prepared to look long and hard at dubious transactions before accepting the money – no matter how attractive the business looks on the surface,” Ms Wright will say.. Two boys who vandalised 150 child graves will not be punished because they are too young to be prosecuted, police said yesterday. Family members were dealing with the boys and there was no need for social services to get involved.. The father of the murdered schoolgirl Holly Wells spoke for the first time yesterday of the “dark, dark days” endured by his family.

They were dark, dark days.”Holly and Jessica, both 10, vanished near their homes in Soham, Cambridgeshire, on 4 August. Their bodies were found in woodland at Lakenheath, Suffolk, 13 days later. Mr Wells, who runs a cleaning business and has a 12-year-old son, Oliver, told his local newspaper, the Cambridge Evening News, that he and his wife Nicola were trying to be as positive as they could to help their son. “Myself and Nicola are returning to work but not yet in a full-time capacity,” he said. “We are just trying to keep those small steps towards a sense of normality.”"Having said that, over the last few days myself and Nicola have been very low and tearful again. We’ve just been feeling so desperate at our loss of Holly.”It’s the small things which are the catalyst for our emotions. Little things which you notice or miss about Holly just trigger you off.”Mr Wells said being told that the girls’ bodies had been found came as an “absolute hammer blow”.
