Four including ex-Patisserie Valerie chief financial officer deny fraud charges


The former chief financial officer of Patisserie Valerie along with three other defendants, including his wife, have denied being part of a plot to commit fraud at the collapsed cafe chain.

Christopher Marsh, a former director and chief financial officer of Patisserie Holdings (PHP), the company behind Patisserie Valerie, and his wife, accountant Louise Marsh, were charged by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

Christopher Marsh, Mistry and Lad also pleaded not guilty to five charges of fraud by false representation and one of making or supplying an article for use in fraud.

The trio are accused of making false statements to lenders HSBC and Barclays about the bakery’s cash reserves before it collapsed and the reason that cheques were being stopped.

They also allegedly made false statements to auditor Grant Thornton, including issuing certain invoices between 2015 and 2018 that were “untrue or misleading” or were not genuine.

Monster insider trading alert: Former Tesla executive sells $180 million of TSLA shares

Although criticism is growing regarding the ethics and fairness of individuals trading stocks of companies in which they have extensive insider information, such a practice continues, with one of the recent examples including a former Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) top engineering executive.

Specifically, Andrew Baglino, who resigned from his position as the senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering at Tesla a couple of weeks ago, has sold over 1.1 million TSLA shares worth about $181.4 million, according to the information shared by markets analyst Barchart in an X post on April 26.

RUSSIAN ARMY CAPTURES U.S.-MADE ASSAULT BREACHER VEHICLE NEAR AVDEEVKA
(VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Support SouthFront


The Russian military has captured an American-made M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) from Kiev forces in the Donetsk direction.

Prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov published on April 24 Video footage and photos on his Telegram channel showing the damaged engineering vehicle being towed to the rear by a BREM-1 engineering vehicle of the Tsentr Group of Forces.

The vehicle was recovered from an area near the settlement of Berdycha close to the Avdeevka city, according to Solovyov. At least two ABVs were taken out by Russian troops in that direction.

The ABV was designed to clear pathways for troops and other vehicles through minefields and along roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices. The 72-ton, 12-meter vehicle is based on the M1 Abrams main battle tank with a 1,500 horsepower engine, but fitted only with a .50 BMG M2 machine gun and a front-mounted 4.6-meter plow, supported by metallic skis that glide on the dirt.

The vehicle is equipped with the Linear Demolition Charge System, which is made up of rockets carrying C-4 explosives up to 137 meters forward, detonating hidden explosives at a safe distance, so that troops and vehicles can pass through safely.

Last year, Kiev forces received an unknown number of ABVs, reportedly no more than six, from the United States along with some 31 M1A1 SA tanks.

Russia specialists will likely study the captured AVB to better understand its capabilities and weaknesses. After that, the vehicle will likely end up on display at the Kubinka tank museum near the capital, Moscow, or some other military museum in Russia.

Pairing Su-35s with S-400s could get Israel into a mess with Iran

Reports from Russian and Iranian insiders suggest that Iran has increased its interest in a large-scale acquisition of the Russian Su-35 Flanker-E fighter jets compared to initial expectations. The proposed count has risen to 42, considerably more than the previously assumed 24 units. It appears that Iran plans to integrate the Su-35s they procure with their S-400 air defense system. This strategic move could potentially amplify the vulnerability of Israel.
