tom wise

tom -lrb- thomas -rrb- harold wise -lrb- born 13 may 1948 , in bournemouth -rrb- was an independent and ukip member of the european parliament -lrb- mep -rrb- for the east of england .
a former police officer , he was elected in 2004 as a member of the uk independence party but later had the whip withdrawn when allegations of misuse of parliamentary expenses surfaced in `` the sunday telegraph '' .
following an inquiry carried out by the european anti-fraud office , wise was formally charged with false accounting and money laundering by bedfordshire police .
after initially pleading not guilty , he admitted the charges and was sentenced in november 2009 at southwark crown court to a two-year term of imprisonment .
he is thought to be the first mep to be jailed for expenses fraud .
sentencing him , the judge said that wise had engaged in `` deliberate and blatant dishonesty '' and had set about to defraud the european parliament almost as soon as he was elected .
