Mr Ditta is accused of abusing his position as a criminal solicitor,
having become too involved with specific clients.
The lawyer's downfall came after police investigating Scarborough discovered he
had been in regular phone contact with Ditta in February 2011.
During his arrest Ditta picked up his wallet and tried to remove several credit cards
but they were all seized and a hair sample was taken fom him.
But after the hearing Supt
Lee Halstead from Lancashire Police said:"Mr Ditta turned from criminal solicitor to a criminal himself the moment
he started obtaining drugs from organised criminals.
Ditta denied wrongdoing and claimed:"If I was a corrupt lawyer,
which I am not, and I wanted to feed information to Mr Scarborough, I would not wait 15 hours, I would do it immediately.
On his website Ditta gave a question and answer session about himself in
which he says his fantasy job would be a lawyer representing clients on Death Row in America, his ultimate dinner guest as being Mohammed Ali and inequality as his motivation for work.
