The FCA has commenced criminal proceedings against Stephen Allen following an investigation.

Mr Allen appeared today by video link at Westminster Magistrates Court in relation to a charge of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

The FCA alleges that between 21 July 2014 and 6 July 2017, Mr Allen conspired with Renwick Haddow to pervert the course of justice by disguising Mr Haddow’s interest in the property known as 13 Brook Mews, London W2 3BW and its availability as an asset for the part satisfaction of any order that might be made in proceedings brought by the FCA against Mr Haddow.

Mr Allen gave no indication as to his plea and the case was sent to Southwark Crown Court for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing on 25 November 2020.
