So, today is the big day for Joe Anderson, the former Mayor of Liverpool, who is set to show up in court facing charges of bribery and misconduct. He’s 67 years old and calls Beechwalk in Knotty Ash home, you know, just some casual info. Him and 11 others are being dragged to Preston Crown Court today by Merseyside Police’s Operation Aloft. I mean, sounds like a big deal, right? Anderson took charge of the council back in 2010 and snagged the title of the city’s first directly elected mayor in 2012. But now, he’s in hot water with accusations of bribery, misconduct, and conspiracy. And let’s not forget about Derek Hatton, the ex-deputy leader of the council, who’s also in the mix. The courtroom drama is about to unfold, so stay tuned for all the juicy details.
