Baroness Michelle Mone and her businessman husband Doug Barrowman have been interviewed under caution by detectives investigating them for fraud, it can be revealed.
The National Crime Agency has been investigating their role in the PPE Medpro scandal since May 2021. Mone referred the company to Government contacts before it won £200million in Covid contracts.
During a 70-minute film released on Sunday – which was funded by PPE Medpro – it was revealed that NCA officers had interviewed the couple once. It’s understood that interview was carried out under caution and the pair were not arrested.
It comes after their homes in London and the Isle of Man were raided by detectives in April 2022.
An NCA spokesperson has said: “The NCA opened an investigation in May 2021 into suspected criminal offences committed in the procurement of PPE contracts by PPE Medpro.”
Mone is suspected of conspiracy to defraud, fraud by false representation and bribery. She denies the allegations and insists she has done nothing wrong. In the film, made by former detective Mark Williams-Thomas, Mone admits she regrets misleading newspapers three years ago about her role in the PPE Medpro scandal.
When links between Mone and the newly formed company were revealed, her spokesperson said: “Baroness Mone has no comment as she has no role or involvement in PPE Medpro.”
