Kevin Richard Halligen, who has also been accused of taking money from the fund set up to hunt for the abducted toddler Madeleine McCann, was sentenced to 41 months in jail after pleading guilty to a single count of wire fraud involving a payment of $1.2m, which he has been ordered to repay.
 
Paper addition
A British conman who claimed to be a well-connected former intelligence officer, staged a sham society wedding in Washington DC and made millions from a "pattern of fraud and deceit" has been jailed (David Taylor writes).

Kevin Halligen, who has also been accused of taking money from the fund set up to hunt for the abducted girl Madeleine McCann, was sentenced to 41 months in prison at the US District Court after pleading guilty to a single count of wire fraud involving a payment of $2.1m from the Dutch company Trafigura, which he has been ordered to repay. His deceit drew in some of the most influential people in the US capital's security world, the court heard.

Halligen, 51, has already served 43 months in jail in Britain and the US after an extradition fight since his arrest in 2009. He will be deported in the coming weeks.
