Martha Stewart banned from Britain
A spokesman for Britain’s Home Office, which runs the UK Border Agency, said it does not comment on individual cases.
“We continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad,” he said.
Stewart was found guilty of conspiracy, making false statements and obstruction of agency proceedings — all stemming from her sale of stock in biotech company ImClone Systems Inc. on December 27, 2001. She was sentenced to five months in prison and five months of house arrest.
