A court clerk from Liverpool who helped more than 70 motorists falsify their driving records and escape bans has been jailed for six years.
David Kelly, 47, of Toxteth, falsified driving records for cash from his office at Liverpool Magistrates' Court.
He was found guilty at Preston Crown Court of 23 counts of conspiring to pervert the course of public justice after denying all the charges.
Three others were also jailed for their parts in the scam.
'Undermines public faith'
Kelly, who worked as a court administrator for 20 years, applied to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for points to be removed from the licences of more than 70 people between 2004 and 2010.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said fingerprint evidence and a handwriting expert proved that he wrote and submitted numerous documents to the DVLA.
Computer evidence also showed he checked the progress of these requests on a computer system linked with the DVLA.
DCI Andy O'Connor, of Merseyside Police, said Kelly, from Southern Crescent, had abused his position.
He said: "Public corruption is an extremely serious offence that undermines public faith in the integrity of those who work in the criminal justice system.
"Public servants are required to act with integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality but Kelly's actions could not have been further from each of these.
"His actions have undermined the criminal justice system and the very laws which he was employed to uphold."
Mark Camello, 33, of Nightingale Road, Croxteth was jailed for 14 months and Shaun Robinson, 24, of Britannia Crescent, Toxteth and Samantha Evans, 24, of Meldon Close, Croxteth were each jailed for 12 months.
Evans was also found guilty of fraud.
Camello, Robinson and Evans had all pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing.
