County Durham restaurateur slapped with company ban after abusing covid support scheme

A County Durham restauranteur has been banned from any company involvement after he abused a covid support scheme.

Kamil Ozkan, from West Rainton, Houghton le Spring, was the sole director of Papa Peterlee Limited, trading as Martinos Italian Kitchen, on York Road in Peterlee, County Durham.
