Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has launched an investigation into Rockfire Investment Finance and its £650 million solar farm deals with Thurrock council, which led to the council being effectively declared bankrupt in 2022. The probe follows years of reporting on the deals involving companies owned by Liam Kavanagh. Allegations include that the solar firm received £400 million from the debt-ridden council, while its boss reportedly spent £150 million on a luxury lifestyle, including a £14 million yacht and a £9 million private jet. The investigation centers on suspected fraud related to a bond investment scheme linked to solar farms.
