Things for Gordon Ramsay just got a bit warmer.. the chef is purportedly facing fines of about 5000 GBP, and a lovely criminal record to boot, withholding accounts for his Gordon Ramsay Holdings (GRH) company.
They gave Ramsey until tomorrow to produce his accounts or face possible prosecution, according to reports in the Daily Mail.
Ramsay is 16 months overdue and had several letters, come say up to six letters requesting he publish figures for GRH, the company that owns his restaurants.
“We have sent at least six letters since March but it’s obviously getting quite serious,” a Companies House spokesman said. “If the company does not respond it could get in quite a lot of trouble. Prosecution action will start then or a few days after.”
“GRH’s last published accounts reported a loss of £2.4 million. Ramsay had split a £3.1 million dividend between company shareholders, with £2.1 million going to himself.”
Hm.. the company lost money but he gained more than 2 million..
