She was not asked to formally enter a plea, although her lawyer Mark Bowen told the court she would be pleading not guilty.

District Judge Michael Snow granted Alison-Madueke bail but imposed terms including an 11 p.m to 6 a.m curfew, an electronic tag to be worn at all times and a 70,000 pound surety to be paid before she could leave the court building.

Her next court appearance will be at Southwark Crown Court, which deals with serious criminal cases on Oct 30.
