Ex-Morrisons head of tax jailed for insider dealing

Paul Coyle, former group treasurer and head of tax at supermarket group Morrisons, has been jailed over a £79,000 insider dealing fraud related to the company’s link-up with online grocer Ocado.

Coyle was given a 12-month prison sentence at Leeds Crown Court last month after pleading guilty to two offences of insider trading.
