Britain's charity watchdog said on Thursday it had launched an investigation into the foundation set up in honour of record-breaking fundraiser Captain Tom Moore who raised millions during the coronavirus pandemic.
World War Two veteran Moore became a national hero and made headlines globally after raising 38.9 million pounds for the National Health Service by walking around his garden with the help of a frame in April 2020.
It said it was concerned a company controlled by his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, might have generated "significant profit" by using the 'Captain Tom' trademark without objection from the charity. "We do not take any decision to open an inquiry lightly, but in this case our concerns have mounted," said Helen Stephenson, the Commission's chief executive.
Stephen Jones, chairman of the board of trustees of the Captain Tom Foundation, said they would work closely with the commission "in its inquiry relating to intellectual property management".
