Yeah, he actually mentioned that in the case.

So obviously this Circuit Civil case where he was awarded the 10,000 euro, that happened this week, but it was heard in the case how he is in jail at the moment.

He served a 10 year sentence.

But the case from seven years ago.

He was in the back of a taxi and the taxi was rear-ended and it was an uninsured driver driving.

So that was where the claim came from.

But as part of the case, it was heard that although he is in prison, he said he's turned his life around.

And obviously we know that for first hand because we've spoken to him and we've done... I think the original story that we did, you've seen, he put up on his Facebook page.

It was a poem about basically how he'd...

gone down the wrong side of the tracks, but had turned that around and was trying to do it for his family.

And then we did a story.

And then I think he touched base with the city and you.

Yeah.

And we spoke to him then after that.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I suppose because if you think of the people that he was hanging around with, they're not people you'd probably want to mess with.

Like he was an enforcer for Fat Freddy Thompson.

So, you know, obviously there probably would have been some risk by doing that, but he did and he served his time.

And then when he got out, then obviously that's when he started to talk about turning his life around.

I think, was he trying to give proceeds of a book to Children's Charity?
