Ilhan Kekec, the owner of a Turkish restaurant, has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for fraudulently obtaining a Covid Bounce Back Loan and unlawfully dissolving his company without notifying creditors. The verdict was delivered at Isleworth Crown Court on Monday, March 18, where Kekec was also banned from serving as a company director for three years.

Kekec’s conviction follows a trial where he was found guilty by a jury in December 2023 of charges related to fraud by false representation and failing to inform creditors of a voluntary company strike-off.
