Assets of Ex-Tory Peer Michelle Mone Frozen Amid PPE Medpro Investigation

The company, led by Mone's husband Doug Barrowman, faces scrutiny over £200m NHS contracts and a lawsuit from the Department for Health and Social Care.

Assets controlled by former Tory peer Michelle Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman have been frozen under a court order obtained by the Crown Prosecution Service.
PPE Medro, a company led by Mr Barrowman, is under investigation by authorities for contracts worth more than £200m to supply PPE to the NHS.
The company is also being sued by the Department for Health and Social Care for £122m plus costs for 'breach of contract and unjust enrichment'.
Baroness Mone and her husband did not oppose the freezing of their assets and stated that this allows them to 'prove their innocence more quickly'.
The National Crime Agency is currently investigating 'suspected criminal offences' in contracts for personal protective equipment (PPE) awarded during the Covid pandemic to PPE Medpro.
