HMRC nets £5m from ‘black market’ dog breeders
Taxman cracks down on illicit sale of canines after reports from animal welfare groups

HMRC has raised over £5m in unpaid tax after an operation to tackle dog breeders who were selling puppies on the black market.

More than 250 cases involving the illicit sale of dogs were uncovered by the taxman during the four years after a special taskforce was formed to tackle the problem. In one instance, a former Crufts judge was given a £185,000 bill.

Among those who were fined were two unconnected breeders in the west of Scotland who were given tax bills of £425,000 and £337,000. Another dealer in the east of Scotland was hit with a £400,000 demand.

Great Greek wines for summer
If you like matching wines and seasons, now’s the time to head for the flavours of the Aegean

I might give the Atlantis Santorini 2017 (£12, Marks & Spencer) a try - if my nearest Marks & Sparks hasn't been closed down.

Can't say I've noticed any problem but seems some Firefox users are having problems with Add-Ons not working  properly. It's being fixed: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

Madeleine McCann investigators probe convicted child killer from Germany

A convicted paedophile and serial killer from Germany has emerged as a figure of interest in the hunt for missing Madeleine McCann, according to a former Portuguese detective.

Martin Ney, 48, who is serving life in prison for abducting and killing three German children between 1992 and 2001, is reportedly being investigated by officers from Portugal's Policia Judiciaria.

The 48-year-old child sex monster is said to closely resemble a photofit issued by detectives in the case and was understood to have been in Portugal in 2007, when the three-year-old was abducted.

Ney, who is in jail in his native Germany, has previously been interviewed by detectives investigating Madeleine's disappearance but has denied any involvement.

Originally from Hamburg, the predatory paedophile targeted children on holiday sometimes entering their apartments.

Sounds as though the village just hasn't opened yet for summer season - despite paying guests being there.
