United Kingdom - Businessman accused of multi-million pound VAT fraud

A Dundee businessman has appeared in court accused of dodging VAT payments amounting to more than £6million.



 

Shahid Ramzan, 36, from Broughty Ferry, also faces charges of concealing the transfer of criminal property and breaching the Proceeds of Crime Act by moving almost £115million out of Scotland.

The offences are alleged to have been committed between September 2002 and July 2004 and to be linked to a complex web of worldwide companies, trading in computer parts, mobile phones and accessories.

Jayne Ramzan, 36, from Dundee, faces a single charge of fraudulently evading VAT payments totalling pounds £3.2million.

Lawyers told the High Court in Edinburgh that they were still wading through hundreds of pages of paperwork and accountants' reports and asked judge Lord Philip for more time to prepare.

The Ramzans are due back in court in September when - it is hoped - a trial date can be fixed.
