According to North of England online newspaper Chronicle Live, the £1.5m that Gary Robb tried to transfer from North Cyprus to Thailand, but was intercepted by the National Crime Agency, is to be used to pay a back-tax bill totaling almost £620,000. He will also have to cover late payment penalties of more than £430,000. This tax bill comes as a result of his losing an appeal for tax paid on up to £10,000-a-week in door money he received from the Colosseum Club in Stockton in the 1990s.
The fact that this money doesn’t belong to him seems to have escaped the notice of the UK tax authorities so it looks as if Gary Robb’s North Cyprus Property Victims have lost one more avenue of getting their money back.
Have any of the victims got their money back? It seems ages ago that the National Crime Agency intervened.
Nope Sue, not a penny as far as I can find out 🙁
Odd, because having just checked, I know some have received their share of this money having won their case against Robb. If some have, I would imagine all of them have.
I have checked again, it seems all have received their money allocated proportionately as per the judgment. I think this blog is mistaken.
