Trial of former Serco executives collapses as SFO fails to disclose evidence

The trial of two former executives at Serco has collapsed after the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) failed to disclose evidence to the defendants, in a major blow to the UK’s anti-corruption agency. A judge at Southwark crown court on Monday instructed jurors to return a verdict of not guilty for Nicholas Woods and Simon Marshall, two former directors of the Serco subsidiary Serco Geografix Ltd, after the SFO offered no evidence following its identification of its error.

SFO strikes out again in Serco execs case

By Neil Hodge2021-04-26T17:32:00+01:00 Two former executives at security company Serco were acquitted Monday of defrauding the U.K.’s Ministry of Justice after the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) failed to disclose documents to the defense. The agency offered no evidence against Nicholas Woods, a former finance director, and Simon Marshall, a former operations director, who were charged with defrauding the government department between 2011 and 2013 by concealing £12 million (U.S. $16.6 million) in profits related to an electronic tagging contract for offenders. Because the SFO did not disclose documents to defense lawyers, Mrs. Justice Tipples directed the jury to return verdicts of not guilty after refusing an adjournment that would have allowed the agency to pursue a retrial.
