Who's been falling foul of the law? This month's cases, including Swansea accountant jailed for £750k fraud, door slams for director with second disqualification and ex-magistrate jailed for £250,000 tax fraud
A Swansea accountant has been jailed for his part in a £750,000 fraud which funded a lavish lifestyle for the owners of a firm providing business services to small companies in Wales, to the detriment of their employees who lost their jobs, following sentencing at Newport Crown Court.
Ernest Wayne Pulman, an accountant who qualified in 1972 and who is listed as an FCA member of the ICAEW, provided financial advice to MJL Group Ltd. Pulman, along with Margaret Jean Murray-Shelley, was found guilty of the fraud, which was masterminded by her husband and fellow director, Philip Murray-Shelley, and also involved a third individual, Andrew Wallace. Philip Murray-Shelley was found to have planned the manipulation of funds from a credit company to MJL over a long-term period.
