Former Tipton Town FC chairman, Bill Williams is being probed by police regarding three further fraud incidents.
It was revealed earlier this month that police are investigating three fresh fraud cases, after the accountant was jailed for illegally pocketing more than £276,000 from the life insurance and pension policies of a murdered father. Bill Williams, of Chester Road, West Bromwich, spent the swindled money on luxury family holidays to the USA, season tickets for Aston Villa football matches, and extravagant family parties he also invested large sums into Tipton Town FC. A further five individuals have come forward to police, claiming to be victims duped by Williams, but his involvement is yet to be confirmed. According to the Express and Star ‘father-of-two Williams is less than a month into a five-and-a-half year prison term for taking cash owed to the daughter of murdered South Staffordshire company director Andrew Diack’. Williams worked as an accountant for Featherstone-based Spray Tanker Services, which 29-year-old Andrew Diack co-owned. Days after Diack was stabbed to death at the Flying Dutchman, a pub in Wolverhampton in 2009, Williams set about his plan to swindle the money owed to his two-year-old daughter. The Express and Star reported at the beginning of June that ‘Williams listed himself as an executor of an insurance and pension policy he helped to set up for Mr Diack’. Williams also duped pensioners Ronald and Sheila Haynes out of their £97,000 life savings. At Wolverhampton Crown Court, Judge Amjad Nawaz described bankrupt Williams as a man who ‘preyed on the vulnerable’. ‘The Express and Star revealed earlier this month that Mr Diack was not the only victim of 59-year-old Williams. He was jailed in 1986 for a previous £100,000 fraud while manager of Great Wyrley’s Harrisons FC’. The amount of money involved in the alleged cases has not yet been revealed but an investigation is underway.Manchester debt firm is liquidated owing creditors over £2.2m
