Three Men Charged in £10M Fraud, Money Laundering Case
Three men have appeared before magistrates on suspicion of multi-million-pound fraud, money laundering, and false accounting. Edward Gittins, 75, Nigel Kneale, 58, and Paul Garrett, 64, were granted bail with conditions.
Gittins and Garrett are accused of offences between 2012 and 2019. Gittins faces eight counts of theft, fraud, and false accounting. Garrett is charged with five counts of theft and two of converting criminal property. Kneale, accused of four counts of theft between 2010 and 2014, also appeared in court.
The complex case, involving vast sums of money, was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery. All three defendants were granted bail, residing at their home addresses and not leaving the island without court consent.
The defendants await further proceedings before the General Criminal Court. The public prosecutors and judiciary designated for such cases will oversee the process, with the exact named individuals or bodies yet to be confirmed.
