Four men were guilty

After a corruption and bribery probe of 6 million GBP and bribery in health authorities across Scotland, four men are behind bars.

According to studies on the allocation of lucrative NHS contracts, the group was charged with a telecommunications company based in Ayrshire.

Adam Sharoudi (41) and Gavin Brown, 48, Ran Oricom Ltd – a company that effectively started from a garden shed before protecting themselves.

However, the prosecutors said that the contracts for the delivery and maintenance of telecommunications and video conference devices rejected the rules for financial misconduct in the tender procedure.

The Oricom bosses received the illegal help of Alan Hush, 68 and 60-year-old Gavin Cox.

Hush was the telecommunications manager at NHS Lothian and then at NHS Scotland Video Conferencing Manager.

Cox held the head of the IT and the infrastructure in NHS Lanarkshire.

The couple abused his powers as “public servants” to enforce business. A contract was worth 3.1 million GBP alone.
