Tiger International Logistics, Worldwide Transport Express and Global Express Worldwide pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud in a trial held at Southwark Crown Court.Sentencing was adjourned until October.Parmjeet Sandu's nephew, Balginder Sandhu, 46, of Slough, and Lakhwinder Sekhon, 42, of Isleworth, west London, were found not guilty of taking part in the conspiracy.
