Publuc house licence questions

[dingg]

In my home town back in the north East a bloke is doing quite well opening quite large public houses, thing is his name rang a bell in the back of my mind, a quick bit of googliing and turns out he was one of the gang leaders in a heroin and cocaine organised crime group, cant imagine he's either gone straight or won the lottery to enable him to purchase these premises and can't imagine that he's earned the capital to manage to create a legitimate business after serving a chunk of jail time, don't the licence committees do due diligence on such matters.?

I'm astonished its allowed to happen and fully expect its a cash laundering operation in plain sight.

Plod must have given up in the UK?

Having a criminal record doesn't necessarily prevent you from holding a License except in certain circumstances . Have the Police given up ? Yes would be my answer . I think they have their priorities (Priority Policing) and couldn't catch snot in a hankie without Dashcam Footage . Doubtless we will have the usual lurking Policemen on the Forum telling us otherwise and how we know nothing about Policing .

How long have you worked in the police force?

You’ll need a premises licence and a Designated Premises Supervisor. Neither has to be in the names of the owner.

Normally the premises licence is in the name of the company which owns the pub or bar. DPS is normally the person who has day to day control which is normally the General Manager or landlord.
