The company director of a shooting sports centre in St Leonards, East Sussex, is to be prosecuted for allegedly evading his duty to pay employee pensions contributions, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has revealed.
Lee Bartholomew was accused of fraudulently deducting money from the salaries of employees of 1066 Target Sports Ltd as contributions towards the company’s occupational pension scheme, and not paying it to the schemes within the prescribed period.
He was also charged with failure to provide information requested under Sections 72 and 77 of the Pensions Act 2004.
Bartholomew has since been summoned to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on 24 March 2023.
This is the latest in a number of prosecutions brought by TPR, following the successful prosecution of a number of former pension scheme trustees across a multiple cases last year, with another case relating to illegal pension investments still ongoing.
