CPS charges execs<\/h2>\n

England and Wales\u2019 Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has charged ex-GVC Holdings executives including Kenny Alexander with bribery offences related to historic sportsbook violations.<\/p>\n

The CPS on Thursday charged Kenny, ex-GVC execs Lee Feldman, Richard Cooper, and James Humberstone with Conspiracy to Defraud and Conspiracy to Bribe.<\/p>\n

shares drop to \u201csession lows\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

News of the UK\u2019s indictment of ex-Ladbrokes CEO Kenny and ten other former GVC execs saw shares drop to \u201csession lows\u201d on the London Stock Exchange for the firm that rebranded to Entain in 2020.<\/p>\n

Entain had in 2023 covered itself from prosecution over historic GVC deals involving its former Turkish subsidiary Sportingbet by agreeing a \u00a3615m ($827m) settlement with the CPS. Kenny and the former execs, however, remained liable for prosecution and under investigation by His Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).<\/p>\n

HMRC\u2019s Fraud Investigation Service Director Richard Las on Thursday said the investigation had been \u201ccomplex and international\u201d and that the resulting charges against Kenny and others were \u201cserious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Execs hit with multiple charges\u00a0<\/h2>\n

CPS Chief Crown Prosecutor Hannah von Dadelszen said her office had authorized the prosecution of Kenny and ten others for seven offences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/em>, von Dadelszen stated the offenses were linked to \u201cbribery, conspiracy to defraud, fraudulent trading, cheating the public revenue, evasion of income tax, acting as a director of a company when undischarged bankrupt<\/a> and perverting the course of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The head prosecutor confirmed the offences were in relation to GVC\u2019s dealings in Turkey from 2011 to 2018 and that Alexander, Feldman and the others charged are scheduled to appear at London\u2019s Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court on October 6.<\/p>\n

\n

the defendants had \u201ca right to a fair trial\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The CPS also warned that while criminal proceedings against the ex-GVC execs were active, the defendants had \u201ca right to a fair trial.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is extremely important,\u201d stated von Dadelszen, \u201cthat there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CPS\u2019 call for diligent reporting ironically echoes the claim Kenny and Feldman filed against the UK Gambling Commission <\/a>in November. The pair\u2019s suit accused the UKGC of sharing private information relating to the Turkey business without their consent.<\/p>\n

Entain washes hands<\/h2>\n

Having already paid its penalty and off the hook for Turkey, Entain nevertheless issued a statement to reinforce the point. A spokesperson for the UK iGaming giant stated the CPS didn\u2019t charge the firm with any offence, and that Kenny and the others charged are no longer \u201cemployed by the Company or its group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entain ended stating it had no further comment to make on the case, which it said was subject to \u201congoing criminal proceedings and reporting restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n
