• One of Langdon Industries' directors is to be charged with conspiring to make false tachograph records as part of a prosecution case against the refrigerated operator involving 20 people.
Director Christopher Murt and Landgon's traffic operator Rupert Rya11 are to be charged, along with 12 of the firm's drivers, of conspiring to make false entries on tachograph charts which they knew to be false. The offences allegedly took place after 31 March 1993.
Eight owner-drivers who worked for the Taunton-based company will also be charged with falsifying tachograph charts. All 20 are expected to appear at West Wiltshire magistrates court on 1 September.
This week Langdon's managing director Mike Donoghue said he was flabbergasted by the news and firmly denied the allegations.
He said: "This is the first we have heard of any allegations. I can't com
ment on specific charges because I haven't seen any, but of course we do not falsify tachograph charts."
