Michael Brown regrets 'stupid' £2.4m Lib Dem donation
In a wide-ranging interview - his first for 12 years - Michael Brown, now known as Michael Campbell-Brown, revealed he is using his experience of being a prisoner to help other inmates adapt.
Following his release, he faced the prospect of being sent back to jail after he was charged with further offences, relating to the theft of an investment of almost £8m from Martin Edwards, the former Manchester United chairman. He now admits that he was motivated by a misguided desire to impress people, thinking they would respect him if he was a"larger-than-life character" - and by a craving to be rich.
He has denied that he's facing any"active" inquiries, and there has been no confirmation that any such investigations are taking place. "They should have said to me: 'But Michael, you don't live in the United Kingdom, you're not registered on the voters' roll, your company was only born six months ago; really sorry Michael, thanks for coming, but no thanks,'" he said.
