British fraud office’s case against former Serco execs falls through By Reuters

(Reuters) – Britain’s fraud office said on Monday a court had dismissed its plea to adjourn a hearing against two former Serco executives, after the regulator found errors with disclosures it had made in its case related to prisoner tagging contracts.

The judge directed the jury to return verdicts of not guilty, after the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) sought to pursue a retrial that could remedy the errors made in the “non-disclosure of certain materials”, the SFO said in a statement.
