3 unusual facts about Gordon Foxley


Gordon Foxley

He was convicted on 12 counts of corruption in 1993 after he took bribes from arms manufacturers to set up defence contracts.

Some 12 contracts worth £33 million were cited in the criminal charges against Foxley, involving companies in Germany, Italy and Norway - Fratelli Borletti in Italy, Gebruder Junghans in Germany, and Raufoss of Norway.

The CPS Crown Prosecution Service delayed enforcing it for 11 years through utter incompetence and a lack of commitment, derived from the satisfaction of the Treasury at the receipt of £4.6M which far exceeded th original estimates claimed.
