英国环境署已对南方水务公司的四名前员工提起欺诈指控，其中包括前首席执行官马修·赖特。1这些被告人被指控在2012年至2017年间操纵污水处理检测结果，通过人为制造虚假的"无流量"事件来影响合规检查。1
根据该公司自身评估，这一计划使其避免了约4500万英镑的罚款。1此举被指违反了对英国环境署和水务监管机构Ofwat的欺诈责任。1
该案已进入梅德韦地方法院审理。1欺诈共谋罪的最高刑期为10年监禁。1
英国环境秘书安吉拉·伊格尔表示："任何被判有罪的人将面临法律的全力制裁。"1南方水务公司拥有超过400万用户。1
Four former employees of Southern Water, including ex-Chief Executive Officer Matthew Wright, have been charged with fraud by the UK Environment Agency over allegations that they manipulated wastewater testing results between 2012 and 2017 1. The defendants are accused of creating artificial "no flow" incidents to influence compliance checks with environmental regulators and Ofwat, the water industry regulator 1.
According to the company's own assessment, the alleged scheme enabled Southern Water to avoid approximately £45 million in potential fines 1. The case, which involves conspiracy to defraud the Environment Agency and Ofwat, is now proceeding through Medway Magistrates' Court 1.
The conspiracy to defraud charge carries a maximum prison sentence of ten years 1. Environment Secretary Angela Eagle stated that "anyone found guilty will face the full force of the law" 1. Southern Water serves over 4 million customers 1.
