LONDON (Reuters) - A former senior director of Tesco (L:TSCO) was formally acquitted on Wednesday of fraud and false accounting at Britain's biggest retailer in 2014.
Carl Rogberg, a former Tesco UK finance director, was tried last year along with former colleagues Christopher Bush and John Scouler. The trial was abandoned in February after Rogberg suffered a heart attack.
Bush and Scouler faced a re-trial and were acquitted in December, the judge ruling there was no case to answer. Rogberg was severed from the re-trial indictment due to ill-health and was formally acquitted at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday.
