Modlinsky was supposed to receive his sentence at Bolton Crown Court on Monday, after the hearing was adjourned from September due to the barristers’ strike.

But he turned up to the court late and Recorder Michael Taylor decided to reschedule the sentencing until Monday, October 24.

Modlinsky was remanded in custody until then.
