Ex-advisers charged with multi-million pound tax fraud
Interesting thing here is that although the principals of the promoter (Zeus) are in the dock (literally) they are being joined by a number of promoters of the investment.
If (and it's a big if) the promoter and intermediaries are convicted, I wonder if that makes it easier to prosecute them for (investment) loss and/or claim against one of the Government controlled insurance schemes. If so, is there a read across to promoters of contractor arrangements that might ultimately prove to have been ineffective?
I'm not lawyer enough to be able to answer that, but answers on a postcard please.
