Hull Crown Court hears that funeral director Robert Bush spent tens of thousands of pounds on personal leisure while allegedly defrauding clients. Reporting on the case says the court is told about money used for holidays, including trips described as going to destinations such as Center Parcs and Italy, alongside other pursuits mentioned by one outlet, including motorbike racing. Two reports focus on the scale of the spending, with figures cited for personal expenditure, including £42,000 mentioned by multiple sources. Another report describes a higher total figure for holiday-related spending. In addition to personal spending, the Independent’s reporting says Bush also sold false funeral plans worth more than £500,000 in total, which it describes as covering more than 200 people. The accounts describe proceedings in which personal expenditure is presented as part of the wider case involving deception and unlawful handling of funds related to funeral services and pre-paid plans. The reports do not provide an outcome in the excerpts provided.
