Three Tesco bosses charged with fraud and false accounting
Carl Rogberg, Christopher Bush and John Scouler allegedly committed the crimes between February 2014 and September 2014
THREE former Tesco bosses have been charged with fraud and false accounting.
The charges as part of an ongoing Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation in 2014 accounting irregularities at the supermarket giant.
Carl Rogberg, Christopher Bush and John Scouler have been charged with fraud by abuse of position and false accounting.
Tesco said there has been an "extensive programme of change" since 2014.
Bush was Tesco UK's managing director, Rogberg was the company's finance director and Scouler was the UK food commerical director.
The SFO launched the criminal investigation one week after Tesco announced its profits were overstated by £263m.
Authorities found the higher figure came after Tesco brought forward rebates from suppliers.
