The owner of a Christian tour operator will appear in court next year after denying committing fraud.

Robert Fleming, 62, of Selwyn Road, New Malden, is the owner of travel companies LivingSun Ltd and Kyrilios Ltd.

He denied two counts of carrying on business of a company with intent to defraud creditors, one count of fraud by abuse of position, two counts of engaging in misleading commercial practice and one count of failing to provide information before contracts were concluded when he appeared at Kingston Crown Court on December 1.

The businesses face an additional six charges between them, for which Mr Fleming has also issued a plea of not guilty at the hearing earlier this month.

LivingSun faces charges of failing to provide information before contracts were concluded and engaging in misleading commercial practice.

Kyrilios Ltd faces four charges of engaging in commercial practice in a misleading action.

Mr Fleming will appear at Kingston Crown Court for trial in March.
