Mackintosh, 44, of Northampton, and Grossman, 61, from Bushey in Hertfordshire, both deny two counts of failing to ensure details were provided in respect of political donations during 2014. “The case against Mr Mackintosh is that he received those donations knowing that Mr Grossman was doing it in that underhand way.”
