Petra Ecclestone's Ex Charged With Money Laundering and Forgery

Well he certainly hangs out in a neighborhood that would facilitate a bit of the old scrub-a-dub-dub, what with the gold and the art and the wealthy.
From The Art Newspaper, May 4:

Gold tycoon and art collector James Stunt charged with money laundering and forgery
The former husband of heiress Petra Ecclestone denies any criminality and says he will contest all charges

The former gold bullion trader and art collector James Stunt has been charged with money laundering and forgery following an investigation by West Yorkshire Police, according to the Crown Prosecution Service. 

A spokesman for the CPS declined to give any further details of the charges, noting that “a court date has been arranged for 9 July at Leeds Magistrates’ Court. Requisitions will be issued in the next seven days”.

Stunt, who was previously married to Petra Ecclestone, the heiress daughter to Formula 1 billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, took to social media to defend himself, describing the charges as the “biggest miscarriage of justice”. He adds: “Forgery FYI is my PA with my permission using my signature on my own cheque on my own personal account lmao…”
