Lags compo for prison clothes

A jailbird has been awarded 12,000 GBP in compensation because guards breached his human rights by making him wear prison clothes before he was convicted for corruption.

European Court of Human Rights judges ruled that Romanian fraudster Dan Jiga should have been allowed to wear his own clothes while he was in a Romanian jail awaiting trial

Politician Jiga - now serving four years for taking bribes - was also awarded 2,000 GBP in costs.
