UN war crimes tribunal fires defense lawyer accused of fraud Jeannie Shawl at 11:18 AM ET [JURIST] The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda has fired Jean Degli, the lawyer appointed to defend former Brig. Gen. Gratien Kabiligi (case information here), saying Degli defrauded the court of about $300,000. The Court's registrar Adam Dieng said Thursday that "there is overwhelming evidence that Degli played a major role in what appears to be a veritable fraud scheme that was well planned, orchestrated and carried out," and that the UN will file a case in the tribunal to recover the money.
