Tory peer Michelle Mone - Received £29m from PPE Medpro
Discussion
No sign of Baroness Mone supporting her husband at court in Santander today. If it has not been mentioned... In addition to the PPE bother, Doug Barrowman has been accused of corporate tax evasion by the Spanish authorities.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/michelle-mon...
"The Spanish charges relate to an allegedly "fraudulent" €6.3m (£5m) invoice from 58-year-old Barrowman and the six co-accused Brits allegedly benefitted from. Prosecutors allege it was created to evade tax and take millions of pounds out of a Spanish company B3 Cable Solutions and into their pockets via a UK company Axis Ventura in July 2008. B3 went bankrupt four years later, costing 200 workers at a cable factory near Santander their jobs."

JFC, utterly incompetent; they can't even do tax evasion properly. Seems he's never hear of Panama...https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/michelle-mon...

Apropos of which, let’s see how many other firms involved in bent pandemic PPE procurement get hauled over the coals.
May be at cross purposes here, but the Barrowman/Page/Mone stuff precedes the pandemic, they’ve been at it for years (I know). The PPE scandal may not be the tip of the iceberg but it has finally opened Pandora’s box, one that some of us were aware of. I had a tenuous business link and ran a mile when I looked at the detail of their IR35 loan back scam. Crooks. Downward said:

I think there should be a ban on photos of her in this thread; it causes a distraction. For me anyway.

Oops indeed, although the 2 emails after that are interesting.
Her defence will be that at the time she was not entitled to any financial gain (as not a shareholder), but that also she never denied that her husband was set to benefit. The fact that she did get some benefit afterwards (that, when the contract was awarded she wasn't entitled to, but was gifted after the event), is arguably irrelevant to the first point.
One for the lawyers. If it was a black and white contractual dispute she'd be fine, however with the court of public opinion against them will be interesting to see if/when it goes to court.
