Where on the admitted facts there is no evidence of corrupt conduct beyond receipt of money and the defendant has been ordered to repay/forfeit the gains, a trial judge may lawfully exercise discretion to impose a suspended custodial sentence; following Carlyle and Wilkinson, the Court will not disturb such a sentence unless it is unreasonable or manifestly inadequate. The Attorney General's review application failed on that basis and was dismissed.
