SHAME: Businessman Brandon Weston. DISGRACED Worcester businessman Brandon Weston is to hand over his remaining assets of £11,000 after a criminal compensation hearing. The 43-year-old former owner of estate agent Premier Places, who once owned seven houses in the city and a house in France, has remaining available assets of £11,715, a court was told.
Chris Williams, aged 48, who admitted three counts of forgery in the same fraud, was ordered to pay £10,000. Daniel White, acting on Weston’s behalf in the Proceeds of Crime Application hearing at Worcester Crown Court, said there were two bank accounts which had been used to handle the mortgage for his house in France and the prosecution had been given a schedule of any other funds. Weston was ready to sign waivers which would release money from all the accounts, which have already been restrained by the prosecution so he could not use them.
