Richie is joined by Giovanni Di Stefano.
Giovanni Di Stefano was known as “The Devil’s Advocate,” the man who would defend anyone.
He had represented – or claimed to represent – clients as notorious as Saddam Hussein, Jeremy Bamber, Ian Brady, Harold Shipman and Charles Bronson. He once told the BBC that he would have defended Hitler and that he would have represented Satan if the opportunity arose.
In February 2011, he was picked up by Spanish police on a European arrest warrant. He was extradited to the UK to face charges of fraud, theft and money laundering. In March 2013, he was found guilty of all the charges against him and sentenced to 14 years in prison. He was released last month.
It was claimed during his trial that he had never achieved a legal qualification nor passed the bar in any country. Yet, he had acted for some very wealthy and powerful people. How?
Giovanni’s story was the subject of a recent documentary produced by SKY. Who is the real Giovanni Di Stefano?
On today's show, Richie attempts to find out. Do not miss this show.
