A Weston man has been jailed for eighteen months for his role in a fake vodka scam.

Fifty-six year old Michael Matthews supplied labels for counterfeit bottles of the booze.

Three others were also found guilty earlier this month of conspiracy to cheat the taxpayer out of one and a half million pounds, by avoiding duty on alcohol distilled on a Leicestershire farm.

Two others pleaded guilty while another two have been acquitted.
