Perfume boss admitted he ignored Russia sanctions | BBC News 3

A British businessman caught on camera confessing he was illegally selling luxury perfume to Russia is not facing criminal charges, the BBC has learned.

David Crisp admitted to an undercover investigator that he had “ignored government edicts” on sanctions by selling £1,000-a-bottle “Boadicea the Victorious” perfume in Russia.

The BBC can now exclusively show the undercover video, which has previously only been shared in court.

Mr Crisp was arrested in 2023 by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) – the UK government agency responsible for sanctions enforcement – but the investigation was dropped earlier this year. This is despite the discovery of evidence that he tried to conceal more than ÂŁ1.7m of illegal sales.

Mr Crisp, from Surrey, denies knowingly breaching sanctions or concealing trades with Russia.
