Martin Sargeant, former operations manager at the diocese of London, is accused of fraud and money laundering
A former Church of England official charged with defrauding a charity of more than £5m has been accused of clocking up more flights than Alan Whicker, the late globetrotting broadcaster.
Martin Sargeant, 52, who was operations manager for the diocese of London from 2008 until August 2019, when he retired, and clerk of the City Church Grants committee, is accused of defrauding the charitable trust of about £5.2m over 10 years.
