Judge’s son jailed for £100m scam on football & pop stars
A JUDGE’S son has been jailed over a scam that duped celebrities and sports stars out of more than £100million in Britain’s biggest tax fraud.
Old Etonian Jonathan Anwyl, 44, helped mastermind a fake ethical scheme which conned 730 investors, including an ex-England manager, Premier League football players and pop stars.
Super-rich clients thought they would be able to claim huge sums in tax relief but the operation was a sham and members of the group siphoned off millions. Anwyl, 43, of Ringmer, East Sussex, was jailed for five-and-a-half years for conspiring to cheat the public revenue. He spent £788,000 buying a luxury flat in Sydney, Australia, Southwark crown court, SouthEast London, heard. Four other gang members were jailed for up to 11 years.
