Description
Former Southern Water CEO Matthew Wright and three ex-employees face criminal charges for allegedly faking wastewater treatment tests between 2012 and 2017 to hide failures and dodge hefty fines. The Environment Agency, which previously blocked legal attempts to halt proceedings, now confirms it’s pursuing criminal action, accusing them of staging artificial “no-flow events” during inspections. Wright denies all wrongdoing and claims cooperation, while the Environment Secretary vows full legal consequences for those found guilty, underscoring a firm stance on environmental accountability.
