Fraud

In 2007 three company directors at Aleef were charged with conspiricy to defraud the Inland Revenue. Their way of cheating the system involved employing two tills. One of the tills was reported to the Inland Revenue the other remained untaxed. It was also found that some of the 250 employees were not on the company pay roll. The directors were charged at Liverpool Crown Court and ordered to pay back all monies owed plus £500,000 costs.
