The former finance director of the London Philharmonic Orchestra has been accused of allegedly defrauding the publicly funded company for more than £2.3 million.
He is also accused of taking the money to pay for items such as flights, jewellery, artwork and an extension to his £900,000 house. The LPO said it had no idea the money was missing until the Australian-born director left after four years in charge of the budget in 2008.
Upon further investigation, it found that the scale of the alleged fraud was actually far greater, totalling £2,351,155.
It is up to the Police and Crown Prosecution Service decide whether there is enough evidence to bring a criminal case against him.
