HBOS report delayed

-

ViCtiMs of a massive bank fraud face a year’s wait to learn the truth about an alleged cover-up.

A group of criminal bankers at the reading branch of HBOs deliberate­ly wrecked small firms to seize their assets and spent the profits on prostitute­s, holidays and luxury goods.

A report into claims that top bankers at lloyds, which bought HBOs in 2008, deliberate­ly concealed the crimes will not be ready until late 2019, MPs on the treasury select Committee have been told.

the gang behind the fraud was jailed in 2017 for nearly 50 years in total. lloyds has been accused of blocking a police probe and trying to silence victims with a campaign of intimidati­on.
