Matthew Wright, the former chief executive of Southern Water, faces a charge of conspiracy to defraud alongside three other former employees. The charges relate to allegations that the group attempted to manipulate water quality tests.
The four individuals have been charged with offenses relating to alleged misleading information provided between 2014 and 2018 concerning the testing of drinking water, according to reports. While details of the alleged scheme remain limited, the charges center on conspiracy to defraud.
