At Guildford Crown Court today Deputy Circuit Judge Critchlow, formerly the Recorder of Guildford, ordered the directors of Digicam International Limited, Leon Passlow and Simon Hopkins, to pay almost £1 million following contested confiscation proceedings. The application under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 followed the successful Private Prosecution in 2015 of the directors for a large scale, systematic and sophisticated fraud against the FAPL ( Football Association, Premier League ) and Sky and for which they were originally sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment. The defendants have been ordered to pay within 3 months or face a further 6 years in prison.
