In May 2014 I was headhunted by a reputable company for an excellent job, and to relocate my family to Italy.
The recruitment company is pursuing my employer for non-payment, as are many other suppliers.
I myself was naive, though the promises, and 'rest assured you will be paid...' were very convincing. I resigned formally in January, with no pay, and no expenses paid. I am still in Italy, and fortunately have a grant from a professional body.
My employer also recruited a single Italian mother, who relocated to another city 500 km from her home town. She was naive too.
I was interested to see that our employer's Italian partner's company was listed here as listed by the FCA as a company to avoid.
Our well known, Quorn fox-hunting, employer owes us around €60,000 net totally in unpaid salary and expenses.
We are pursuing him in the Italian system, and he will have to eventually appear in court. He has not paid the equivalent of NI contributions, so the State will fine him for tax evasion. We also suspect he is a wider fraudster and that certainly his Italian partner is.
I am told that I cannot pursue him in the UK, and in fact he always hides behind Ltd companies; though the recruitment company is now seeking a High Court order to seize assets.
I know that he is still 'seeking investors' for various schemes. I wonder if he would do the same in the UK, as in employ, not pay, bluff, etc, etc, and get away with it.
We both *(and our families) wonder how we can get some sort of justice, even if we had to pay a good percent of the money owed for advice.
Also, surely others should be aware that this well known businessman is not fit to be a Director; especially perhaps as one of his businesses is the management of student accommodation?
Any comments would be welcome.
Thank you.
