Former Royal Navy chef jailed over £1m ‘fake’ sea bass scam
A former Royal Navy chef has been jailed after conning frozen food giant Iceland into selling the wrong kind of fish to customers.
A judge branded the £1.1 million fraud a “scandal” and said public confidence at a time of heightened concern about the origin and identification of food was “seriously undermined”.
Michael Redhead, 49, replaced sea bass with a cheaper oriental perch, then forged an email confirming it was the same fish.
