Businessman Doug Barrowman, 57, has been charged with crimes that include corporate tax evasion and could be jailed for more than five-and-a-half years if convicted.

The indictment relates to claims Barrowman and his co-accused benefitted from a “fraudulent” invoice.

Prosecutors allege it was created to evade tax and take millions of pounds out of a Spanish company to put in their pockets. The company went bankrupt four years later, costing 200 workers at a cable factory near Santander their jobs.

The case is now due to be heard next May. It's separate to the legal issues discussed in the earlier OPs below, but who knows what dots may be joined and whether Barrowman will be at liberty to attend the Spanish case in person if legal action is pursued against him in the UK?
