Three former Derby County Directors have all denied their involvement in Fraud allegations at Northampton Crown Court today.

Ex-chief executive Jeremy Keith, 41, of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, former finance director Andrew Mackenzie, of Burton Road, Derby, and ex-director of football Murdo Mackay, 53, of Fife, Scotland are all charged with conspiring to defraud Derby County of £440,625 on or before December 8, 2003.

The case revolves around the loan from the ABC corporation of Panama during October 2003, which allegedly used to save the club from receivership.

A further charge of conspiracy to conceal criminal property was also brought against the Trio, now dubbed the Three Amigos. The same charge was dropped against David Lowe 58 of Monaco, who was the legal representative during the incidents but is accused of helping to acquire or conceal £81,895 on behalf of Mackay and or Mackenzie.
