Clapping for carers...as firm's PPE millions are moved offshore

Tory Mone in £200m deals row

- NICK SOMMERLAD

TORY peer Michelle Mone posted videos of her and her billionaire husband clapping the NHS at the same time she was lobbying for PPE deals from which, it is claimed, she received millions of pounds.

Leaked documents suggest that an offshore trust linked to Baroness Mone received £29milllion.

The money seems to have originated as profits from more than £200m in PPE deals she promoted through the Government's VIP lane, the Guardian reports.

HSBC bank documents leaked to the newspaper allegedly show £65m in profits from the PPE deal was paid into a trust benefitting Mone's husband Doug Barrowman in September 2020.

It is claimed £45.8m was then transferred out of The Warren Trust to Barrowman's personal account, before £28.8m was transferred in October 2020 to a second trust, Keristal. Its beneficiaries are allegedly Mone and her children.
