CPS charges Kenny Alexander with fraud and bribery conspiracies

Enforcement & compliance

The Crown Prosecution Service has charged former GVC chief executive Kenny Alexander with conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to bribe in connection with GVC’s former Turkish operations. Former GVC chair Lee Feldman and other former executives also face charges; former Entain governance chief Robert Hoskin is charged with obstructing justice. The allegations cover conduct linked to GVC subsidiary Headlong Limited, sold in 2017, while Entain settled the company’s case in 2023.

The charges expose former executives to potential criminal penalties, while the company’s earlier settlement did not end the cases against individuals.
