The offences are related to nine donations
A former Tory MP has appeared in court charged with covering up donations to his general election campaign. David Mackintosh appeared at Northampton Crown Court on Friday accused of not revealing the true source of payments - totalling £39,000 - to Northampton South Conservative Association.
The charges follow an investigation by Northamptonshire Police, triggered by the disappearance of a £10.25 million loan made in 2014. The loan was made from the borough council to Northampton Town Football Club for a stadium redevelopment project.Mackintosh, 43, was first elected as Northampton South MP in 2015 and later announced he would not contest his seat in the June 2017 General Election. He is also the former leader of the now defunct Northampton Borough Council.
Mackintosh, of Station Road, Northampton, appeared for a brief hearing over a videolink, wearing a suit. Grossman, 61, of Caldecote Gardens, Bushey, Hertfordshire, did not appear but was represented in court by his barrister, Chantel Gaber. The two men both deny any wrongdoing and are set to stand trial on October 23, alongside three other people charged in connection with the investigation.
