Court case | Ex-company director accused of defrauding blind & disabled workers' pensions

A former company director is accused of failing to pay pension contributions for blind & disabled workers over a two year period...

Nicholas Marks denies the allegations that he failed to pay into workers' pensions between 2020 and 2022 while he was the boss of Clarity & Co, a soap making social enterprise based in London, which he bought out of administration in 2020.

According to court documents, Marks is charged with "fraud by abuse of position... namely by retaining employee and employer pension contributions, for yourself".

The 56-year-old, from Buckinghamshire, appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court, where he entered a Not Guilty plea. He is next set to appear on May 8th at the Old Bailey.
