Court directs not guilty verdicts for Marrache accountants

Two accountants accused of ‘cooking the books’ of the Marrache & Co law firm have been acquitted of all charges as the case against them collapsed yesterday.

Chief Justice Anthony Dudley directed that not guilty verdicts be entered against Kenneth Robinson and Ian Wood following a short hearing at the Supreme Court.

In doing so, he highlighted ‘fundamental failures’ by the Royal Gibraltar Police and the Crown prosecution.
