Trial to begin of former Tesco executives accused of fraud

Christopher Bush, who was managing director of Tesco UK, Carl Rogberg, who was UK finance director, and John Scouler, who was UK food commercial director, are all charged with one count of fraud by abuse of position and one count of false accounting.They pleaded not guilty at a hearing on August 3.

The case stems from an overstatement of Tesco’s profit forecast in 2014.On Sept. 22, 2014 the group issued a statement to the London Stock Exchange saying that during its final preparations for an interim results announcement it identified a 250 million pound overstatement of its expected profit for the half year, mainly due to booking commercial deals with suppliers too early.In the following weeks the company suspended eight senior members of staff including Bush, Rogberg and Scouler.
