Serco tagging trial falls through after SFO declines to offer evidence
Two former Serco executives have been cleared of defrauding the Ministry of Justice after the SFO declined to offer evidence.
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) brought claims against Nicholas Woods and Simon Marshall, who were accused of “defrauding the taxpayer” by concealing £12m in profits related to an electronic tagging contract for offenders.
Today a court dismissed the SFO’s plea to adjourn the hearing after it uncovered errors made with disclosures it had made in the case.
