Theft and fraud reports to the Charity Commission almost double
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010The value of theft and fraud reported to the Charity Commission totalled 21m last year according to their third annual report, as reported on the Civil Society website. The commission recieved 451 reports of serious incidents and conducted 180 investigations. Although the number of incidents reported has almost doubled in comparison to last year it is thought that there are many more that go unreported. The increase is said to be down to the proactive monitoring work of the regulator’s compliance unit; lets hope they keep up the good work.

No smoke without fire at Football club…
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010A FORMER football club boss was jailed for five and a half years today after Southampton customs officers made their largest seizure of imported cigarettes in the port.
The confiscation of more than 21m counterfeit Regal brand cigarettes is also believed to be one of the largest in the country.
Guy Simpson, 53, one time chief executive of Southern League Premier side Halesowen admitted smuggling.
The contraband was packed into two 40ft long containers that arrived on the Maersk Algol that had originally sailed from China and arrived in Southampton in December.
Though the manifest maintained they contained gym balls, they were found “full to the brim” with the cigarettes that had probably been illicitly manufactured in China, said prosecutor Tim Moores.
Judge Peter Ralls QC told Simpson from Heath Charnock, Lancashire he had played a pivotal role in the plot, which he had operated through his legitimate business front.
