Judge allows DJ awaiting trial for fraud to go and play a gig in Ibiza
A judge has allowed a DJ awaiting trial for fraud to fly to Ibiza for a DJ set at El Paradis
When you're awaiting trial for something as serious as insurance fraud, fraud that amounts to around £750,000 worth of damages, the last thing you expect is to be granted a trip to Ibiza for a DJ set.
But in the case of James Parker, that's exactly what's happened. Despite allegedly being involved in a two-year long insurance scam, he has been allowed to fly out to the White Isle at the end of the month by Judge Nicolas Cooke QC.
Parker has been booked to play at Es Paradis and had asked to be let out out the country to perform at the club. The judge gave Parker the go ahead after confessing that he'd "been behind the wheels of steel" too. Yes!
The Old Bailey judge even joked about his musical past and apparently lists "music of Black America 1959-1973" among his hobbies.
Parker and two other men have denied all charges and pleaded not guilty. And it seems that the judge's DJ past has meant that he can still spin some house music this year at Clockwork Orange.
Maybe a back-to-back set is on the cards if he doesn't go to jail?
