The trial of three Tesco executives charged with fraud by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has been abandoned after one of the co-defendants, former UK finance chief Carl Rogberg, suffered a heart attack last week.
Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) partner Neil O’May, who is representing Rogberg, said in a statement: ‘Mr Rogberg is devastated at the news that the trial has been aborted. He waived his right to attend these last stages after he had given evidence himself for many days, and had participated in the last four-and-a-half-months of the trial.
