Craig Morris, 43, is jailed for his role in a Covid-era PPE fraud that prosecutors say involved the supply of nitrile gloves. Sources report that Morris and his senior associate, Jogesh Bhandari, were found guilty in connection with a multi-million-pound scam targeting medical firms.
Reports say the scheme operated through an “umbrella” of companies set up in 2020 to trade in large quantities of PPE. In addition to the fraud charges, Morris is convicted of money laundering and conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation, following a trial at Leicester Crown Court. One outlet reports a sentence of three years and nine months.
Outlets also focus on the alleged use of proceeds from the scheme, describing luxury spending. Bhandari is reported to have bought expensive items and benefits, including luxury cars, watches, holidays, and a new home. Across coverage, the common emphasis is on the convictions related to PPE supply and the subsequent financial advantage gained by those involved.
