John Lyttle, the former CEO of Boohoo, resigned in October amid serious allegations.
- Lyttle faced claims of stalking and corporate espionage by other executives.
- Manchester and Kent police are investigating the stalking reports involving Lyttle and other executives.
- Surveillance incidents were reported at Boohoo’s Manchester headquarters.
- The identity of those behind these incidents remains unknown, with no arrests made.
John Lyttle’s resignation from Boohoo in October followed serious allegations of stalking and corporate espionage. It is understood that these claims contributed to his decision to step down from his role as CEO of the retail giant.
The allegations suggest that Lyttle, along with Boohoo’s new CEO Dan Finley and co-founder Mahmud Kamani, were targeted by stalking activities. Reports indicate that over recent months, they were followed by unknown individuals on public transport and other public spaces in areas including London, Manchester, and Kent.
The situation escalated with reports of direct incidents; Lyttle reportedly encountered trespassers on his property, and Kamani was said to have been assaulted by one of these individuals. Moreover, unregistered surveillance equipment was discovered outside Boohoo’s Manchester headquarters, purportedly recording employees entering and exiting the building. This device was subsequently removed and handed over to police authorities, marking a significant step in addressing these concerns.
The ongoing police investigations in Manchester and Kent underscore the seriousness of the situation. Despite these efforts, the individuals responsible for these acts remain unidentified, and no arrests have been made thus far. A Boohoo spokesperson has refrained from commenting further, citing the active police investigations.
The ongoing investigations into these allegations continue to unfold, with serious implications for those involved.
