As we reported last year, Robert Venables KC is being prosecuted for tax evasion in respect of his own tax planning arrangements.
This is the prosecution’s opening note. It includes details of Mr Venables’ tax arrangements, how HMRC started to investigate those arrangements in 2019, and how that became a criminal prosecution.
Court blogger Mouse in the Court has the defence’s opening statement here.
Given the UK’s contempt of court rules, we will not be saying anything further, and comments are disabled on this post.
We will add additional documents as they become available.
