AG v Zielinski [2008] JRC 028 (22 February 2008)

Given the seriousness of the breach of trust, the defendant's prior dishonesty, and absence of exceptional circumstances, a custodial sentence of 18 months is warranted for both sets of offences, to run concurrently, and deportation is recommended as his continued presence is detrimental and does not infringe rights of innocent persons or his own rights.
