A former Serco executive who was cleared of defrauding taxpayers by hiding millions of pounds in profits has called for the abolition of the white collar crime agency that pursued him.
Simon Marshall, who was acquitted last month, said the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) did not have “anything to do with justice” and should be disbanded.
Marshall was subjected to an eight-year probe by the SFO over allegations Serco hid £12m of profits made from a prison tag contract with the Ministry of Justice between 2011 and 2013.
