Ex-MP Shahid Malik cleared over Covid test firm false results case
Original: Judge 'cannot be sure' ex-MP cleared over Covid test firm knew of false results https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/sh
Former Dewsbury MP Shahid Malik has been cleared at Bradford Crown Court over allegations involving a Covid testing company, after a judge said he 'cannot be sure' the firm knew it was issuing false results. Malik, who faced related fraud proceedings connected to Starling Bank accounts, walked free as the prosecution failed to meet the required standard of proof. The ruling closes a case that had followed the ex-Labour minister since the pandemic-era testing scheme.
Why now: A judge's acquittal of a former MP in a pandemic-era fraud case has just been handed down, drawing attention to accountability over Covid test contracts.
