Schabir Shaik, the fettered fake from JZ’s favourite family, must have watched in awe as celebrity airhead Paris Hilton got sent home only three days into a 45- day jail sentence with just a new piece of ankle jewellery. She didn’t even look sick.

But how his hopes must have fallen when she was hauled back in handcuffs. “Do the crime, do the time,” looks like it applies, regardless of the political or economic capital you command.

Of course, there is still Tony Yengeni’s hayfever ruse to try. It didn’t get him home, but it did get him a comfortable stay in the prison hospital.
