FOUNDER MISAPPROPRIATED £420K FROM CHARITY

摘要

The founder of a charity dedicated to rescuing abandoned or mistreated dogs misappropriated two legacy donations totalling more than £420,000 by paying the monies into a private bank account, according to an inquiry by the Charity Commission. A subsequent enquiry resulted in 98% of the funds being recovered. In April 2013 the Commission began an investigation into the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Welfare charity [registered charity no 1104112], based near Peterborough, after receiving a complaint from the executor of a will that a legacy of £382,460 had been left to the charity in 2005 and had not been recorded in the charity's accounts.
