MALLORCA TODAY - Arrested lawyer plans to indict Blair

Giovanni de Stefano, the Italian lawyer who has previously represented Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic and who was detained in Palma at the request of City of London Police, plans to have a warrant issued for the arrest of Tony Blair to face allegations of war crimes. Di Stefano, who had, prior to his detention by Spanish police, been in contact with the UK justice ministry regarding the case against the former prime minister, argues that charges he now faces are politically motivated. He is due to be extradited in the next few days.
