Until he moved to an address in Otley, West Yorkshire, as part of his bail conditions, Bush lived in an affluent part of the East Riding of Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
He enjoyed motorcycle racing and was arrested at Heathrow Airport after a holiday in the United States. <\/p>\n
Describing it as a “shocking” case, with “really serious breaches of trust”, Tams said more than 13,000 pages of prosecution evidence had been compiled. <\/p>\n
Families had been misled by Bush since 2012, investigators found.<\/p>\n
Besides the failure to cremate bodies placed in his care, it became apparent there were “much wider aspects” of Bush’s offending, said Tams.<\/p>\n
“He was fraudulently trading in funeral plans when he wasn’t authorised to do so, and there was over 200 people that were affected by that.<\/p>\n
“They thought that they were investing in their future funeral care, they thought that he [Bush] would have been investing that money with financial institutions. But, in fact, he had kept that money for his own purposes.”<\/p>\n
Tams said the CPS’s priority throughout had been to ensure it built a “robust” case that showed the full extent of Bush’s offending “so that the families could get justice”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Until he moved to an address in Otley, West Yorkshire, as part of his bail conditions, Bush lived…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-722186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
