Some of the money was laundered through a bank | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
Rhys-Jones was arrested in 2012, and in 2013 he was extradited | :01:11. | :01:14. | |

of criminal responsibility to be The Plaid Cymru Assembly Member | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Steffan Lewis says children should not be criminalised at such | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
a young age. But his comments have been | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
criticised by a Conservative MP, A glimpse inside a secure | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
children's home in Neath. This is where some of the country's | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
most complex dysfunctional Some here have committed | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
crimes like robbery, Right now the criminal age | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
of responsibility starts at ten. But Plaid Cymru's spokesperson | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
on criminal justice believes that if Wales had the power to change it, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the age should be raised to 12. There are very good | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
practical reasons to do so. It's not just the fact | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
that the United Nations says it should be a minimum of 12 years | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
of age as best practice globally. Also we need to look at what happens | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
when we criminalise children. The evidence suggests that | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
if we criminalise people at a young age they tend to lead their lives | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
in adulthood of criminality. He says this isn't about stopping | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
the most serious offenders being It's about early intervention | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
to ensure the majority of children never enter the justice system | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
in the first place. But one MP believes the system can | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
actually help rehabilitate children. If you put people through | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the criminal justice system then you have the ability to absolutely | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
enforce support mechanisms. It's not about putting | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
people into prison. Very few children under the age | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
of 16 go into custody. It's very, very rare | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
for that to happen. But what you are able to do is make | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
sure absolutely that social services are involved | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
and that there are methods to ensure that these | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
children become aware that their actions | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
have consequences. At the moment the UK Government has | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
no plans to alter the age of criminal responsibility, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
and Wales has no power to do so. Proposals to devolve youth | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
justice were made in 2014, but they weren't supported by | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
the UK Government and didn't make it into the Wales Bill | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
on further devolution, which is currently making | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
its way through Parliament. Football, and Wrexham are up | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
