#3 SFO clears former Tesco CEO Philip Clarke over 2014 accounting scandal

Former Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke will not face charges from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) over the 2014 accounting scandal, according to his lawyer.

David Corker, who is representing Clarke, has said the SFO has informed his client that “following a thorough review of the evidence obtained… it has been decided not to initiate criminal proceedings on the grounds there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction” in the case.

In 2014, Tesco became embroiled in a scandal as Dave Lewis – who had just taken over the reins as chief executive at the time – confirmed it had previously overstated its profits by £263 million, which it later revised to £326 million.
