How is Carruthers doing in prison?
His defence lawyers speaks.....


The US government is opposing bail for BetonSports' chief executive, David Carruthers - but his defence lawyer intends to cite the so-called NatWest Three as a precedent for demanding that the British businessman is allowed out of prison.

Mr Carruthers' Texan lawyer, Tim Evans, said last night that the 49-year-old British gaming boss is "upset and concerned" to find himself languishing in a prison cell after being arrested while changing planes at Dallas airport on Monday, accused of illegal gambling and racketeering.

The American authorities have informed the defence team that they consider Mr Carruthers a "flight risk" as a foreign national, and that they want him to remain in custody until his trial, which is likely to be many months away.

However, a Texas judge's rare decision last week to permit bail in the case of three British businessmen accused of an Enron-related fraud is likely to be raised in Fort Worth tomorrow as an argument for more lenient treatment of Mr Carruthers.

In his first public comments on the case, Mr Evans said all the charges would be vigorously denied and he was "optimistic" over the outcome. "In our global society, this case raises big issues - not only about gaming, but other issues as well. So, as a lawyer, it's a very interesting and big case, and it's obviously hugely significant to Mr Carruthers personally."

He added that Mr Carruthers was getting standard treatment on remand, which means he will be required to wear a prison-issue jumpsuit. "He's not being mistreated, neither is he being given any special consideration.".....
