THREE more fishermen have been charged with fraud on
Wednesday in connection with a massive investigation into
illegal landings at the Lerwick processing factory Shetland
Catch.
The three men, who all work on board the pelagic trawler
Serene and live on the island of Whalsay, are 46 year
old Robert Polson, 54 year old Thomas Eunson, and 53
year old Allen Anderson.
Ten men have now been charged in the case, which is
understood to involve mackerel valued at around £50 million.
The charges follow a lengthy investigation by the Scottish
Fisheries Protection Agency, which resulted in a raid on the
Shetland Catch factory in September 2005.
All ten have made no plea or declaration and been released
on bail pending further examination. |
