Criminals now owe a record £4.4 billion in unpaid fines and court fees, according to official figures. This sum is equivalent to the original budget set aside for building 20,000 prison places.
For the first time, ministers have revealed that unpaid fines have surpassed £1 billion, with an additional £3.4 billion owed in legal costs and confiscation orders imposed on convicted criminals.
A broadsheet investigation has uncovered that burglary victims are waiting up to five years for justice due to unprecedented court delays. Ministry of Justice (MoJ) data reveals nearly 1 in 10 theft victims, including burglary cases, face waits exceeding two years from reporting their crime to the perpetrators being brought to trial.
One aggravated burglary victim recounted her ordeal, where eight machete-wielding men broke into her family home. Despite waiting three years since the October 2021 attack, she was informed the suspects wouldn't face trial until 2026. "I am furious," she said, expressing frustration over the police's handling of the case.

During an employment tribunal, it was revealed that Ms. Oshodi billed the Football Association (FA) for various items, including fast food, groceries from Sainsbury's, and cleaning products. When confronted about these claims, she argued that the food was necessary for her "cultural dietary requirements."
