A Sainsbury's potato buyer who funded a millionaire's lifestyle by taking part in a scam that stole money from the supermarket giant has been jailed for four years.
John Maylam, who was head buyer, led a life of "outrageous extravagance" by taking bribes from supplier Greenvale in return for lucrative contracts with the chain.
The money laundering scheme he concocted with Greenvale accounts manager David Baxter saw Sainsbury's overcharged by nearly £9 million.
