The Guardian: The Metropolitan police commander Ali Dizaei was jailed for four years today after being convicted of falsely arresting a man and making up an account that he had been assaulted and threatened. A jury at Southwark crown court today found the 47-year-old guilty of misconduct in public office and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Dizaei, a controversial and high-profile officer, faces being sacked from the force in disgrace. The jury took two hours and 31 minutes to reach its unanimous verdicts. As the verdict was announced, Dizaei, once tipped as a future commissioner of the Metropolitan police, stood motionless in the dock. He stared in the direction of the jury. They did not glance back. In between the verdict and sentencing Dizaei was able to leave the dock to hug and kiss his wife, Shy. The offences he has been convicted of carry a maximum of life imprisonment >>>

power corrupts
by fozolie on Tue Feb 09, 2010 03:15 AM PSTI have no sympathy for the commentators here implying this guy was not at fault. He knew very well they were looking for any excuse to nail his hairy a***e, yet he went on to abuse his position.

همون بهتر که کمی آب خنک میل کنند، بلکه حالشون جای بیاد. البته ۴ سال کمی زیاد به نظر میاد برای جرمش.
Harsh sentence is because he is Iranian! Of course it is racist!
by obama on Mon Feb 08, 2010 09:54 PM PSTThey wouldn't dare giving such a sentence in 2 hours to a jew, since they know that they would be all over them by calling them "ant-izionist!" which is bunch of bull. But, we not only support him, we humiliate him in the eyes of the BBC!
Jews protect their own against the outsiders, but what do we do? If we don't defend him, at least don't trash him out of self preservation and respect for our own whether you like him or not! After all he is a cop!
There has been thousands
by BehroozAzarin on Mon Feb 08, 2010 08:55 PM PSTThere has been thousands of cases that people were shot to death wrongfully by police in America and many are falsely arrested, beaten, jailed, served life sentences and even executed and in 99% of the cases the officers were never jailed even for one day. The same goes on in England. Most definitely Ali Dizaei got a harsh sentence because he is Iranian and his name is Ali. That is western justice.
Does Dizaei come from Dizi?!
by Anonymouse on Mon Feb 08, 2010 05:09 PM PSTEverything is sacred.
Whats the problem? LOL
by Sardar Assad on Mon Feb 08, 2010 03:39 PM PSTLets spell this out now- He is an Iranian, an ex police commander, given a four year jail sentence. His jail mates no doubt wont like ex police commanders so much...In my book that a BIG problem. He is not gonna have a good time in jail is he?
What's the problem?!
by Siamack Baniameri on Mon Feb 08, 2010 02:58 PM PSTThe guy has a PhD, he is a bodybuilder, loudmouth, didn't take shit from Brits, intimidated anybody who didn't like his antics, was described as Iranian Tony Montana and kick some Arab guy's ass for screwing up his website. Now, what's the problem here?
Dizaei is a victim
by anglophile on Mon Feb 08, 2010 02:31 PM PSTThere are - and there were - policemen in uniform who are/were equally if not more corrupt and criminal than Dr Dizaei is portrayed. They are either free or have got away with much less name calling and lighter punishment. Why? They were white, blue-eyed and fair. As people of Iranian ethnicity we should not bask in such otherwise humiliating news. .
I don't think Baghdadi is Arab.
by ardeshir keivan on Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:59 PM PSTThe guy, Bghdadi talks in Farsi.
Good riddance
by Anonymous Observer on Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:05 PM PSTanyone who abuses another human being should face justice. I'm glad he got his.
