UK officials find problems in Captain Tom's family charity management
British regulators checked how Captain Tom Mooreʼs relatives handled charity work. His daughter and son-in-law got personal gains from organization made after war veterans garden walks
During covid-19 lock-down a british war vet Captain Tom Moore became a nation-wide symbol of hope — walking garden laps at ninety-nine years old (which brought huge donations for health-workers)
The fund-raising campaign turned into a mega-success: about three-and-half years ago Moore collected thirty-nine million pounds; which equals forty-nine million dollars in todays money. All this money went straight to britains National Health Service
Now UKʼs charity watch-dog found issues with how Mooreʼs family managed things: his daughter and son-in-law (who ran a charity named after the late captain) used it for personal gain. The captain passed away in early-2021 at one-hundred years old — leaving behind both an amazing legacy and some family-related problems
