Charity swindler jailed over cash fraud

A Manchester breast cancer charity went bankrupt after it was apparent that less than 10p per pound was going towards the cause. // Tony Freeman, 40, the man who admitted fraudulently removing money from the company, was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow for 18 months yesterday.
