3yr max expected jail term for robbing 11million quid..

Because he didn't use violence http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/1109/breaking68.htm

How screwed up is the justice system in France? You'd expect that here with our super lenient system but come on, only 3 yrs for stealing 11million quid!!

Other countries could chop off your head for that!!;)

4 million a year. Definitely worth the risk if youre that way inclined.

He he.. little scamp :pac:

It was NON-VIOLENT.

There are lads getting shorter terms for almost killing people.

At the end of the day it's only money, so all these AH Social Critics who think every sentence is too short are gonna say some thing stupid about this one!!!

gurramok

Ah remission, never thought of that. Whats the equivalent sentence here?

Thats it minidazzler, so if i'm going to rob some security van now non-violently and based on your evidence i'd expect less than a 3yr sentence?

SV

Too long!
Should have got let off with a warning

He didn't even rob it really. He just kept it.

Noone threatened nothing bad done except he took some money that is insured.

If he didn’t use violence he is no worse then people who try and embezzle money. The only real reason to lock people up is to protect society from these people. 3 years is enough. No one would feel scared knowing he’s back on the street.

There are far worse people being let back onto the street in shorter time. The time is quite fitting imo. If you're a thief, you're a thief, whether it's millions or a phone, you're the same

So a guy nicks 2million squid and becomes a hero despite everyone knowing what a corrupt thieving bastard he is.

Eat your heart out Bertie....

About as screwed up as here, look at the animals who walked out of prison after the GFA.

As above. Which is worse, driving off in a van full of cash, no one hurt, or riddling two gardaí sitting in a car behind a truck full of cash and taking none of it?

Makes the 'Inside Man' look way to complicated, awaiting Inside Man 2 with gerard depardieu or jean reno as the cash van driver.

MrMicra

This is a much more victimless crime than NAMA and no one will serve 3 years for that!
