Three Keltbray managers accepted £600,000 in bribes.
Leading industry news portal Construction Enquirer is reporting this morning that three former Keltbray site managers have been found guilty of accepting £600,000 of bribes from a specialist labour supply agency.
The Keltbray managers, Michael McCarthy, Simon Lacey, and John Burke, were convicted of receiving the bribes, which represented a ‘breach of trust’ in their obligations to Keltbray.
Southwark Crown Court also found Arben Hysa, the owner of specialist demolition contractor Tony Demolition Workers (TDW), guilty of handing out kickbacks over a period spanning December 2012 and June 2018 to ensure his workers were used on Keltbray projects.
Andrew Cant from the Crown Prosecution Service said: “McCarthy, Lacey, and Burke ignored the rules in respect of their obligation to act in the interests of their employer Keltbray when dealing with external contractors by accepting significant sums of money from Arben Hysa.
“The CPS will now commence confiscation proceedings in order to reclaim the ill-gotten gains of the defendants’ crimes.”
