An amazing new fact : Clive Goodman, who received E215,600 over a five and a half year period to pay his contacts,managed not to draw a single penny from his bank account for two years between 2004 and 2006. He denies pocketing any of the contacts money for himself. All I will say is that sadly I have heard ( not to do with this case ) of this practice among a few journos in Fleet street.
