THe wife of a Leeds gangster jailed for living the high life on the back of her partner’s ill-gotten gains for armed robbery is to appeal against her jail sentence.
Mum-of-five Maxine Valentine will mount an Appeal Court bid over the 12-month sentence she sent to prison for money laundering
Valentine’s mobile phone was said to be worth over £3,000, her children were all at private schools and she drove around in a £73,000 Bentley once owned by Jamiroquai singer, Jay Kay.
She owed her luxury lifestyle to her husband, “premier league” criminal Dennis Slade, who was jailed for life last year for plotting murder and robberies, including a £1.14m security van raid.
Valentine, who lived in a £1m home in Sandmoor Drive, Alwoodley, Leeds, joined him behind bars last month.
Her barrister, James Lewis QC, claims her jail term was “manifestly excessive” and she be freed.
Her case will be heard next week by a full Appeal Court, made up of three senior judges.
She was refused bail pending the hearing of her appeal.
