Serco staff investigated by police over prison van ‘fraud’
Serco employees are alleged to have falsified documents to make it look like prisoners had been delivered to court on time.
The company is already under investigation by the Ministry of Justice for overcharging the taxpayer for electronic tagging, along with rival firm G4S.
GraylinG4s, the Privatisation Secretary, said: “It’s become very clear there has been a culture within parts of Serco that has been totally unacceptable, and actions which need to be investigated by the police.
