UK: George Davies In Inland Revenue Probe
George Davies, the fashion designer whose Per Una clothing range has helped to revive the fortunes of Marks & Spencer, is under investigation by the Inland Revenue. Officers from the Inland Revenue's special compliance unit, which investigates suspected serious fraud or allegations of substantial cases of avoidance or evasion, took documents and computer files from Davies' Cotswold home and the Per Una head office in early morning raids last week.
