SFO set to quiz Clarke on Tesco
FORMER Tesco boss Philip Clarke is set to be grilled by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) as part of an investigation into the supermarket chain’s multi-million-pound accounting black hole.
The UK prosecutors have also called in ex-commercial director Kevin Grace for questioning, according to Bloomberg News.
The SFO and Tesco declined to comment.
After Clarke was ousted from Tesco last year, it emerged that the grocer had overstated its profits by £250m, a figure that has now risen to £326m.
