A defendant in one of the largest ever tax fraud cases, Operation Amazon (prosecuted at trial and confiscation by Tim Hannam K.C.), failed to pay anything but £70,409.56 of his £ multi-million confiscation order.
Owing over £3.46 million, the defendant was ordered to serve a further 8 years and 9 months’ imprisonment.
A C.P.S. press release can be found here:
Henry also succeeded previously in activating the default terms of imprisonment for 2 other fraudsters in the same case who failed to pay their confiscation orders.
The combined further time served amounts to almost 24 years’ imprisonment.
