COUNTY NEWS: Sussex crime ringmaster jailed for £108million fraud
Six members of a crime ring, including their boss, an engineer from Sussex, have been jailed for a £107.9 million fraud following a ten-year investigation.
According to a statement from HM Revenues and Customs (HMRC), they were given sentences totalling 45 years for devising a fake eco-investment scheme as a tax break for wealthy investors in one of the UK’s biggest tax crimes at Southwark Crown Court yesterday.
They were previously found guilty of cheating the public revenue by a jury, having pleaded not guilty to their crimes in February.
