Blackpool councillor struck off after 'hiding friendship with convicted money launderer'
A senior solicitor working for Blackpool Council has been struck off following a disciplinary tribunal.
The tribunal ruled he had sought to hide his friendship with a convicted money launderer and had therefore breached the position of trust placed in him. The tribunal judgement said Mr Glynn’s actions had not been motivated by financial gain, but he had “made statements that he knew to be untrue.”Part of Mr Glynn’s mitigation was his recent record of good service at Blackpool Council, with the council’s head of legal services Dawn Goodall providing a statement to the tribunal.
He was in charge of a team of three lawyers and two legal support officers, and had been “described by the corporate leadership team at the council as an asset to the redevelopment of Blackpool.”
