Serial offender feels full force of the law.
William Reidy, 65, had “shown no interest or willingness” to stump up any of his ill-gotten gains, a judge at Bradford Crown Court told him.
Reidy, formerly of Bolton Old Hall, Cheltenham Road, Wrose, was imprisoned for 16 months in 2007 for illegally dumping waste, including asbestos.
He was prosecuted by the Environment Agency after they traced vehicles illegally tipping on Council land at Low Moor, Bradford, to his company, Space Making Developments.
In November 2009, a court was told he needed to sell land and houses to repay money he made breaking the law to boost profits.
A confiscation order in the sum of £176, 519 was made after Reidy’s benefit from his criminal activity was ruled to be £1.7 million.
He was given six months to pay up.
