Overview

• Charles Brohiri, 28, is charged with 113 counts of travelling on Thameslink services without paying.
• Prosecutors told Westminster Magistrates’ Court that roughly 30 alleged offences occurred after an April ban from Thameslink premises, with the most recent on August 18.
• District Judge John Zani kept Brohiri on bail and amended the conditions to forbid him from boarding any Thameslink train.
• Sentencing was adjourned to December 16 as the court considers a challenge asserting that previous prosecutions were brought by unauthorised lay prosecutors.
• Thameslink sought to have Brohiri remanded in custody, but the judge declined; multiple reports note he is homeless.
