Two Irishmen On UKs Tax Fugitive 'Most Wanted' List
Two Irish men have appeared on a “most wanted’ list of the top 20 UK tax fugitives, accused of fleeing the country after “being charged with a crime or during trial".
In an unprecedented move Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs –
the UK equivalent of Ireland's Revenue Commissioners – published the list of names, photo’s and descriptions in an effort to track the fugitives down.
Collectively they are accused of owing the UK €975m.
The two Irishmen on the list are 53-year-old John Nugent and 43-year-old Rory Martin McGann.
Nugent is thought to be in the US. he is accused of filing fraudulent claims for duty and VAT worth more than €28m. A warrant for his arrest was issued at Manchester Crown Court.
McGann is believed to be somewhere in Ireland. He is wanted for alleged VAT fraud worth just over €1m. He was arrested in November 2008 but later fled the jurisdiction.
Details of all 20 suspects – which includes just one female – including photographs were posted on the HMRCs Flickr page on Thursday morning.
