MALLORCA TODAY - John Hirst charged with fraud

John Hirst, whose company Gilher has been under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, has now been charged with conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. Mr. Hirst was bailed on his return to England, having left Calvia and left investors anxious as to what happened to their money, the consequence of what was said to have been a Ponzi scheme that Mr. Hirst had been operating.

The story of Mr. Hirst and Gilher first pretty much broke on this blog in November 2009, several people making contact to draw attention to the fact that John Hirst was the same John Hirst who had once been convicted for offences when he was employed by Allied Dunbar in the early 1990s.
