Divers resume search for software tycoon, his daughter and four others
The Conservative politician John Selwyn Gummer has been interviewed by former Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson on her morning show on Times Radio about his friend Mike Lynch. Gummer, who now sits in the House of Lords as Baron Deben, said it had been “the beginning of a new life” for Lynch following his acquittal on fraud charges in the US in June.
Gummer said it was “disgraceful” that the software mogul had been extradited on what the peer described as “trumped-up charges” and said following his acquittal he had been hoping to campaign against “one-sided rules” that had meant he faced trial in the US. The politician, who lived near Lynch in Somerset, said he “carried his immense knowledge and learning lightly” and “it was a joy to have him in his community”.
