Episode Details

Varun Datta, a London waste broker, was fined £1.4 million and sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for 18 months, for illegally dumping over 4,000 tonnes of waste across England. He posed as a legitimate waste broker but diverted loads to secret sites, causing environmental harm and financial burden to local councils and landowners. The Environment Agencys investigation led to the discovery of 16 illegal dump sites and resulted in compensation payments to Middlesbrough Council and a wildlife trust. Others involved in the scheme faced charges and fines. The case highlights the Environment Agencys commitment to combating waste crime and protecting communities and the environment.
