Walter meaty: Fraudster butcher in £3.3million tax con
Gary Turner convinced people he ran a meat wholesalers famous for its sausage rolls – but the firm had been bust for 14 years.
His Walter Mitty-type fantasy was in fact a ruse to rip off the taxpayer by continuing to claim vast sums of VAT from HMRC on the basis he was still in charge of a going concern.
And the cash he gained funded a luxury lifestyle.
When Turner’s detached house was raided, revenue officers found five luxury cars with personalised number plates and a watch collection worth more than £35,000, including two Rolexes valued at £17,420.
