A race night organiser raised more than £1m for charities doing race nights at pubs - and then kept the money for himself.
Nicholas Hughes, 38, tricked pub landlords into thinking the money raised at his events was being donated to popular national charities.
Through his business he held thousands of events across the country, raking in more than £1.4 million - but less than £20,000 of that was actually donated to charities.
