British prosecutors have charged six men with fraud for selling bomb detectors widely panned as ineffective that were sold to countries including Iraq, officials said Thursday.
The charges follow a 30-month international police investigation into allegations that bogus equipment was sold to more than 20 countries.
Among the accused is millionaire businessman Jim McCormick, 56, of Langport, in southwest England, a director of security firm ATSC who was first arrested in January 2010.
McCormick was remanded in custody after appearing at City of London Magistrates Court Thursday to face six fraud charges.
The charges relate to the fraudulent possession, production and supply of three models of so-called Advanced Detection Equipment -- ADE 101, ADE 650 and ADE 651.
