A judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of ex-boxer Chris Eubank after he failed to turn up to court over an unlawful protest in Whitehall. | |
Eubank was charged after he tried to park his seven-tonne truck outside the gates to Downing Street in May in protest at UK policy in Iraq. | |
Eubank, 41, from Hove, East Sussex, was due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday. | |
In his absence, District Judge Snow fined Eubank £500 over the incident. | |
The former world champion was also ordered to pay £380 costs. He has 14 days to pay. | |
Eubank overseas | |
Eubank was charged under the Serious and Organised Crime Act, relating to the staging of a unlawful demonstration in a designated area. | |
Mel Goldberg, Mr Eubank's agent, said on Friday his client was overseas and would not be back for a few days. | |
He said: "He will come back and face the music." |
