Charge dropped against aristocrat's partner after baby manslaughter conviction
A charge against the convicted rapist partner of aristocrat Constance Marten has been dropped following the couple's conviction for the manslaughter of their baby daughter. In July, Marten, 38, and Mark Gordon, 51, were found guilty of killing baby Victoria after they went off grid to avoid her being taken into care. The couple, who are in custody, are facing years in jail when they are sentenced at the Old Bailey on September 15. On Monday, Gordon returned to court for a hearing about an outstanding charge relating to his failure to keep in contact with police as a registered sex offender. He was alleged to have breached his notification requirements while on the run from authorities between January 3 and February 27 2023. Prosecutor Joel Smith KC told the court that in light of his recent conviction for manslaughter, the Crown Prosecution Service took the view that it was no longer in the public interest to pursue the charge. Gordon, who appeared by video-link from Belmarsh prison unrepresented by a lawyer, seemed uncertain when asked to enter a plea. Judge Mark Lucraft KC told him: 'If you plead not guilty that will bring proceedings to an end.' Gordon then responded: 'Of course, not guilty.' Mr Smith then offered no evidence and invited Judge Lucraft to formally acquit Gordon. Afterwards, Gordon complained to the judge that he had difficulty finding a lawyer to represent him at his upcoming sentencing hearing. He said: 'I'm not up to the challenge of representing myself. I do not know the law. It's too much for me to do. I cannot do it.' Judge Lucraft refused any delay, saying the case which ran over two long-running trials had already been 'hugely expensive'. He told Gordon: 'The boot is on your foot to get representation. If you are here on September 15 unrepresented, the court will proceed to sentence.' Previously, the court had heard how police launched a nationwide hunt after the defendants' car burst into flames on the motorway near Bolton, Greater Manchester. The couple travelled across England and went off grid sleeping in a tent on the South Downs where baby Victoria died. After seven weeks on the run, the defendants were arrested in Brighton, East Sussex. Following a desperate search, police found their baby dead amid rubbish inside a Lidl bag in a disused shed nearby. Victoria's remains were too badly decomposed to establish the cause of death. The prosecution said she died from hypothermia in the cold and damp conditions inside the flimsy tent, or was smothered. The defendants claimed their daughter's death was a tragic accident after Marten fell asleep on her. A jury in their retrial unanimously found Marten and Gordon guilty of manslaughter. In their first trial last year, the defendants were convicted of perverting the course of justice, concealing the birth of a child and child cruelty.

Aon faces lawsuit over alleged role in Vesttoo collapse
A civil lawsuit has been filed against insurance broker Aon, accusing the company of contributing to the downfall of the once billion-dollar-valued Israeli insurance start-up Vesttoo. Vesttoo ran a marketplace connecting insurers with investors for trading insurance-linked securities. Vesttoo filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after it was revealed that insurance policies sold on its platform were supported by allegedly fraudulent letters of credit. The suit, which was unsealed in Delaware bankruptcy court, alleges that Aon 'ignored red flags' and encouraged business partnerships despite internal doubts regarding Vesttoo's operations. The complaint, brought forward by trustee Lawrence Hirsh, who is tasked with recovering funds for Vesttoo's creditors, suggests that Aon's actions were instrumental in the start-up's collapse. The lawsuit centres on Aon's Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI) product, which was designed to insure lenders against losses if a borrower's asset liquidation failed to cover debts. According to the lawsuit, the product's success hinged on securing reinsurance, for which Aon allegedly depended heavily on Vesttoo's ability to attract capital market investors. The complaint also implicates other entities including China Construction Bank Corp. (CCB), whose former employee is accused of collaborating with Vesttoo insiders to generate fraudulent letters of credit. Aon's subsidiary, White Rock Insurance, had previously secured a temporary restraining order against Vesttoo and reported suspicions of fraudulent letters of credit to Bermuda's financial regulator in 2023. In response to the lawsuit, Aon has emphasised Vesttoo's own admission of executive-level fraud in an investigative report and has stated that the company's executives, along with other co-conspirators, deliberately sought to deceive Aon and other affected parties. Aon has responded to the allegations, describing the lawsuit as "a perverse attempt by Vesttoo's bankruptcy estate to shift responsibility for Vesttoo's deliberate fraud to Aon, one of the fraud's biggest victims. 'Vesttoo has already acknowledged in its own investigative report that executives of the company, along with other co-conspirators, were responsible for the fraud and intentionally sought to mislead Aon and other impacted parties. We will vigorously defend Aon against these meritless claims," reported the Financial Times. Representatives for CCB, which is also involved in a separate civil lawsuit filed by White Rock, have yet to comment on the current allegations. Court documents from CCB have previously described the implicated former employee as a "low-level" staff member in Hong Kong lacking the authority to issue the letters of credit in question.
