I found the Daily Record article via Lexis Nexis Butterworth search engine. Nothing else though.<BR/><BR/>There was something peculiar about the decision to drop the charges; I'm trying to find out exactly what the charges were and why they were dropped. (Or the reasons given for dropping the charges).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-69141749409004934052008-07-19T10:55:00.001+01:002008-07-19T10:55:00.001+01:00Lord Patel does indeed 'do' carousel fraud better ...Lord Patel does indeed 'do' carousel fraud better than this blog ever could<BR/><BR/>I will have a root around myself though and encourage anyone who bumps into this request who can help to chip in if they can<BR/><BR/>We (as opposed to the mainstream press) are, after all, talking telephone numbers - international ones...Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467757421113856218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-8566187743094816662008-07-19T01:05:00.000+01:002008-07-19T01:05:00.000+01:00Hey ^Anony^, shouldn't that comment be on the Post...Hey ^Anony^, shouldn't that comment be on the <A HREF="http://postmanpatel.blogspot.com/search?q=Carousel+fraud" REL="nofollow">Postmans Blog</A>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-5382633537149848072008-07-18T21:36:00.000+01:002008-07-18T21:36:00.000+01:00Carousel Going Round and Round.Can I ask here for ...Carousel Going Round and Round.<BR/><BR/>Can I ask here for some help with research?<BR/><BR/>Back in 23 Aug 1994, the Daily Record had the following,<BR/><BR/>"<I>A former Celtic coach has appeared in court in connection with an alleged £10million booze fiddle. Mick Martin, who played for Newcastle United and the Republic of Ireland, is accused of evading duty and tax on a "vast quantity" of spirits exported across the Irish sea.</I>"<BR/><BR/>The story goes on, it doesn't mention carousel fraud, but I hear that there may be links.<BR/><BR/>What is of interest is that the court case got dropped at the last moment. I think it was as dramatic as the defendants being told on the steps of the court that the charges brought against them were to be dropped. Apparently it caused a minor scandal at the time. I don't know why; nor do I have any links to newspaper stories.<BR/><BR/>Can anyone help with links and such. I don't have a link for the story above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
