Deputy avoids jail time for breaking immigration law

Deputy Philip Ozouf was sentenced to 120 hours of community service for breaking the island's immigration law.

The Royal Court heard how he'd employed five Rwandan workers to work in his launderette and at his home when they didn't have the legal right to do so.

Deputy Ozouf will have to complete his community service and pay £5000 to cover the crown's legal costs but, he won't be disqualified from the States, and will be able to continue as a politician.

Although his political position is safe, this sentencing is one of several controversies across Deputy Ozouf's career which has spanned more than two decades.
