The bosses of an East Midlands takeaway and a timber supplier have been disqualified from directorships after falsely claiming tens of thousands of pounds of Covid bounce-back loans.
The Insolvency Services said Muhammad Rais, 42, from Leicester, had been disqualified from being a company director for nine years for exaggerating the turnover of his takeaway to claim an extra £31,000 of support.
It said Lee Mankelow, 42, of Arnold, in Nottinghamshire, was disqualified for six years, after claiming £50,000 from the loan scheme to support his timber supply business – which he paid directly to a former director of the company.
