CPS brings bribery and fraud case against former GVC executives to court

The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) brought a case against 11 people, including former GVC chief executive Kenny Alexander, over alleged bribery and fraud linked to the company’s former Turkish-facing business. The case was sent to Southwark Crown Court, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for 3 November. Entain is not a defendant; it reached a deferred prosecution agreement with UK authorities in 2023 and agreed to pay £585 million in penalties, plus £30 million in donations and legal costs.
