A DIRECTOR of a luxury car hire and chauffeur service could be sent to prison for lying to police to stop his company from being prosecuted for using unlicensed cars.

Malcolm Margo, who runs Guernsey Chauffeur Drive Ltd, denied attempting to pervert the course of justice and using public-service vehicles without a licence.

But he was found guilty in the Magistrate’s Court, where he was described as ‘a wholly unconvincing witness’ who had told ‘a pack of lies’.

Mr Margo said that he had sent handwritten credit notes to two couples who had booked cars for weddings to ensure that two unlicensed cars were not being used as public service vehicles.
