London’s Southwark Crown Court set a February 2028 provisional trial date Monday for the criminal case against ex-Entain (formerly GVC Holdings) CEO Kenny Alexander and a number of his former Entain colleagues.
In August, the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charged Alexander and 10 others with offences that included conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent evasion of income tax.
The charges relate to the activities of GVC Holdings between 2011 and 2018 via a subsidiary it owned in Turkey.
In the plea and trial preparation hearing on Monday, his Honour Judge Baumgartner stated his preference was to delay arraignment, the process where defendants are informed of the charges against them. As such no pleas were given during the session.
