A man has been arrested in connection with probe into a PPE firm linked to the husband of the ex-Tory peer Michelle Mone.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) confirmed that a 46-year-old man was arrested at his home and is now being interviewed amid an investigation into how PPE Medpro obtained millions of pounds of PPE contracts.
PPE Medpro, a consortium led by Doug Barrowman, 59, was awarded Government contracts worth more than £200 million after his wife, Mone, 52, had recommended it to government ministers. Assets linked to the pair were frozen earlier this year as part of the NCA probe, launched in May 2021.
The firm was set up during the Covid-19 pandemic in May 2020, and was awarded two large Government contracts, including one worth £122million for 25 million gowns. The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) later said the garments were not fit for use - which PPE Medpro denies - and were never used.
However, Mone and Barrowman deny wrongdoing and the former denies any links to the company
Mone has previously claimed she is being “treated like Pablo Escobar” after having her bank accounts frozen as part of the investigation.
In a statement the NCA said: "A 46 year old man from Barnet, London, was arrested this morning at his home address as part of an on-going NCA investigation into suspected criminal offences committed in the procurement of PPE contracts by PPE Medpro. He is currently being interviewed by NCA officers."
