I will be watching this one has the makings of an interesting case.
Two sisters have gone on trial accused of trying to claim back £161m in VAT which they had never paid.
Andrea and Roberta Vaughan-Owen, of Colwyn Bay, also allegedly claimed tens of thousands of pounds in benefits to which they were not entitled.
Both are alleged to have claimed incapacity benefits and working tax credits at the same time, but expressed interest in a £315,000 Rolls Royce.
At Caernarfon Crown Court the sisters deny nine charges.

Something makes me think a pie factory might have been the front for the alleged fraud
