Maughold Church Man Charged with Theft and False Accounting

Lengthy Inquiry Soon to Reach Conclusion

It’s been confirmed by the Diocese of Sodor and Man and Maughold Parochial Church that after a lengthy inquiry a 55 year old man from Maughold Church has been charged with 8 offences of theft, and 10 offences of false accounting.

The inquiry started back in October 2008 when a then 53 year Canon David Green was arrested amid allegations of financial irregularity at the village church.

The investigation nearly spanning 2 years has centred on irregularities concerning the Maughold Burial Authority.

In this time Canon Green suffered a heart attack and has subsequently been seriously ill – the reasoning behind the lengthy investigation.

The 55 year old has been bailed and is due back in court on 3rd August.
