Michelle Mone is among the individuals being sued in an attempt to recover millions of pounds owed to the Government by the collapsed PPE company PPE Medpro.
The BBC reported that the legal action is part of an attempt to recover money following a court ruling against PPE Medpro, which was awarded major Government contracts during the Covid pandemic. The Government was awarded £122 million plus interest last year after a court ruled that the company had breached a contract to supply sterile surgical gowns.
The case is the latest stage in a long-running controversy over pandemic procurement and the use of politically connected routes for companies seeking Government contracts. PPE Medpro became one of the most high-profile names linked to the Covid procurement scandal, with Mone facing sustained scrutiny over her connection to the company and the way it secured public contracts.
