Prison escort staff face police investigation for fraud
Staff at private security giant Serco face a police investigation after the Government uncovered potentially fraudulent behaviour in the management of its £285 million prison escorting contract.
Serco employees allegedly recorded prisoners as having been delivered ready for court - a key performance measure for the contract - when in fact they were not, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said.
The contract, which covers prison transfer services in London and East Anglia, has been put under administrative supervision with immediate effect.
