'invested £300,000 into business venture']

['It is a matter of concern and very
disappointing to learn from you
that these confidences have been broken.
Given the confidential nature
of the discussions, we are not at liberty
to make any further comment at this stage.'
More than 50 people are understood
to have placed between £10,000
and £500,000 each in the syndicate
over the past five years,
with Alastair Campbell and
his partner Fiona Millar believed to have
invested nearly £300,000.
Around 20 of the investors have compiled
a dossier of evidence to pass to the police,
including contracts setting out how
the syndicate would run, bank statements,
emails stating that the fund was
profitable and spreadsheets detailing
how much it was supposedly making.
The sources said that
Lord Falconer
met twice with investors to try and
negotiate a financial settlement on behalf
of the Campbell family, most recently in
early December.
The meetings have been
described by sources as
'long and bruising'.
This newspaper has seen
correspondence between Rory and one
investor who tried to withdraw his
money from the syndicate last year
after being diagnosed with
terminal lung cancer.
The investor wrote in
November 2023: 'I am now reaching
the end of my tether and the
next step will be for me to start
looking at legal options to recover
what you owe me. ]
['I really don't want to do that but when
you continually tell me the money
is coming shortly (since July) and December
is approaching you can understand
why I think you may not be good for it.']
