Fraudster caught driving around in Jaguar with fake cheque
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Martin Nolan handed Tuzuka a three-year sentence, describing him as a "clever man, who sometimes applies his cleverness and intelligence to criminal enterprise". "But like us all, this defendant was defeated by the software," quipped Judge Nolan, noting that Tuzuka had been apprehended while driving a Jaguar to another bank. Mr Dwyer pointed out that Tuzuka was an enhanced prisoner when he served his sentence and that he has not come before the courts since 2010.
