in Energy

Interesting article in The Times 24 Sept 2021...
Jake Brown and his father each own half the shares in Avro Group, the holding company for a string of businesses.
- Accounts for associated companies show that Avro Energy provided a £830,000 unsecured, interest-free loan to Berkeley Swiss-Limited, a construction company controlled by Brown and his father.
- Avro Energy also records £2.25 million in management charges for an advertising agency called Sendito Marketing, owned by the Browns.
- A further £163,656 of loans to the pair are recorded in the most recent accounts.
I know this is standard practice for Private Equity and Hedge Funds, but for private individuals does this amount to criminal activity?
