Three former Keltbray emoloyees and a labour supply specialist have been jailed for their part in yet another corruption scandal to hit the UK demolition industry.
At Southwark Crown Court, Arben Hysa was convicted of bribing three Keltbray site managers to secure labour supply contracts for London-based Tony Demolition Workers Ltd worth £15 million.
Bribes totalling more than £600,000 were paid by Hysa between 2012 and 2018 to three Keltbray managers: Michael McCarthy, Simon Lacey, and John Burke.
The Keltbray three were jailed for receiving the bribes, which represented a ‘breach of trust’ in respect of their obligations to their employer Keltbray.
Keltbray was one of 10 NFDC member companies fined a total of almost £60 million back in March 2023. The company was the recipient of the largest fine stemming from the CMA investigation.
Hysa, Burke and McCarthy were all sentenced to three and half years in prison; Lacey was sentenced to two years.
