  • Payroll fraudsters jailed for 22 years

    The bosses of a corrupt payroll company that stole millions of pounds of VAT have been jailed for more than 22 years. West Lothian-based Linear Services handled payroll for 27 employment agencies but didn’t hand over VAT they owed to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) during a two-year fraud. Graeme Cullen, Leslie Thompson, Graham Newall and Martin Lang ran the firm that charged VAT on invoices.
