FINANCIAL FRAUDSTER NEWS INVESTIGATIONSFINANCIAL FRAUDSTER NEWS INVESTIGATIONS EXCLUSIVE: Herts Police and CPS face allegations of failing to disclose Exculpatory Evidence required by Law in wrongful Prosecution.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen evidence that Hertfordshire Police Constabulary and the Crown Prosecution Service have wilfully failed to disclose evidence to a suspect facing allegations of fraud in criminal proceedings; according to a spokesperson for the Defence, this is believed to be exculpatory evidence.
The key evidence is believed to be in the possession of the CPS and identifies financier Mark Timmis, boss of the international commercial lender Heritage Trust, a British Virgin Islands trust company.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen leaked, commercially sensitive loan documents identifying John Henry Dolan, an alleged fraudster and former Director of Shearson Lemond Ltd (a UK-registered company), who borrowed over £250K between 2002 and 2012.
The loans were secured using assets by Guarantor Whiting Timmis and Partners, a partnership founded in the British Virgin Islands, who, as assignees, pledged a property located in Woolgrove Road, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom as collateral in the event of default on loans provided by Heritage Trust to Mr Dolan. Mr Dolan purported to be the beneficial owner of the Woolgrove Road property and presented himself as Mr Edward Whiting’s Power of Attorney, agent, business partner, and minority equity partner of Whiting Timmis and Partners (BVI).
Financial Fraudster News Investigations can reveal that sources close to Heritage Trust disclose that the rolled-up loans were defaulted on by Mr Dolan and that the Guarantor's (Whiting Timmis and Partners (BVI)) equity and assets were assigned to Heritage Trust’s current debt book and property portfolio assignee and owner, Tuscany Trust (BVI) and/or its heirs, subsidiaries, or assignees.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen HM Land Registry documents that disclose the control of the Woolgrove Road property exerted by the purported sole beneficiary, Mr Dolan, who persuaded Heritage Trust to loan significant funds to entities controlled by him, which include Whiting Timmis and Partners (BVI) and Shearson Lemond Ltd (UK).
Furthermore, that Mr Dolan registered his correspondence address at the British Government's company register (Companies House) as the sole Director of the UK company is a material fact. The delinquent Herts Police investigation, led by DC Sian Beames and supervised by DS Luxon (employed by Hertfordshire's Chief Constable), has instead relied on two fraudulent witness statements from alleged corrupt Police Officer David Quinn.
Quinn was aided and abetted by Stephen Flattery, a criminal trespasser and friend at the Woolgrove Road property. Flattery has forged documents in support of his witness statement, which was signed off by the haphazard and allegedly biased investigation by DC Beames and DS Luxon, who each stand accused of attempting to pursue an innocent victim in a wrongful prosecution, in the belief that he met the profile to suit a redundant theory held without a shred of evidence or substance to support any theory of criminal wrongdoing.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations crime contributor, Robert Smith, a former Met Senior Detective of the Economic Crime Unit, said, “…evidence of non-disclosure is disturbing and contrary to Criminal Procedure Rules, which clearly state the Prosecution has a duty to disclose evidence of an exculpatory nature that can aid the Defendant. If proven, this would undermine the Police investigation and criminal prosecution. The allegations made in a live investigation, which have raised substantial doubt at the expense of the public purse in so many parts of the investigation, cause great concern…”
Hertfordshire Police Constabulary and the Crown prosecution Service did not immediately respond to Financial Fraudster News' request for comment.
