Abu Qatada moves to new house After his return home earlier this year, he was later detained again but was released by senior immigration judge Mr Justice Mitting in November. The Special Immigration Appeals Commission then upheld an appeal by Qatada after his lawyers claimed he would not get a fair trial in Jordan Despite requests by lawyers for Theresa May, the Home Secretary, for him to be bailed to a Home Office address, the court refused and returned him to his Wembley home. Last week Mrs May applied for permission to appeal against the decision to block his deportation. Monitoring Qatada costs £100,000 a week and he is allowed to roam the streets for eight hours a day despite tight bail conditions. Around 60 officers from Scotland Yard, MI5 and a private security company are involved with marked police cars outside his home and undercover officers ready to follow him if he leaves his house. Anyone visiting his home must be approved by the Home Office and his phone line is monitored constantly.
