A father-of-two has pleaded guilty to selling fake coronavirus cure kits to people in France and the United States.
Frank Ludlow, 59, was caught by City of London Police trying to send dozens of parcels of fake remedies in a post office near his West Sussex home.
Mr Ludlow had a genuine belief his cure could “take out all viral infections”, the court heard
Prosecutors allege Ludlow, who is not a doctor, has been selling a kit of products to contacts in Utah and California since May 2017, but in February this year he rebranded the ‘Trinity Remedy’ kits to ‘Trinity Covid-19 SARS Antipathogenic Treatment’.
It’s alleged kit contained vitamin C, an enzyme mix, potassium thiocyanate, and hydrogen peroxide.
Authorities say Ludlow sold between 300 and 400 of the treatment kits, but in February or March of this year as the coronavirus pandemic worsened, he began selling the kits under a new name: “Trinity Covid-19 Sars Antipathogenic Treatment.”
Judge William Mousley said Ludlow contacted national governments and “took advantage of an international crisis”.
Ludlow was given a suspended 10-month sentence at Portsmouth Crown Court.
