The City of London police are investigating an alleged fraud involving a former Premier League footballer who lost £3.9m from one of Britain’s richest evangelical churches in a disastrous investment scheme.

The criminal investigation follows a Charity Commission report into “mismanagement” at Kingsway International Christian Centre, which invested £5m with the former Charlton Athletic player Richard Rufus. 
Rufus was found by a civil court judge in 2015 to have operated a Ponzi-style scheme between 2007 and 2011, losing or spending £8m from several investors.

Rufus was a leading member of the KICC whose founder, visionary and senior pastor is Matthew Ashimolowo, a Nigerian evangelist who preaches a health and wealth gospel to a congregation of thousands at his Prayer Palace in Kent. The largely African and Caribbean churchgoers are urged to give regular tithes and the church collected £5.8m from them in 2015, according to the latest accounts.

In 2009 and 2010, the trustees a…

"The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the repor…

If you own a Lamborghini, then you should be afraid. The legendary Italian automaker is recalling close to 5,900 supercars, including its ultra-rare Veneno model, because of a fire risk.

In a recall notice published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says, "In certain driving conditions while the vehicle has a full gas tank, gasoline may contact the exhaust system and this can increase the risk of a fire,"

Lamborghini also confirms that it's aware of seven cases of fire worldwide. The recall includes all 12 Venenos currently on the roads. Lamborghini, which is owned by Volkswagen Group had only just recently announced a record global sales for 2016 where It delivered 3,457 cars last year, up 7% from 2015.

Pope Francis is asking victims and their families for forgiveness for the “horrible sin” of clerical sexual abuse. 
Francis’ statement comes in the form of a preface for I Forgive You, Father, a book written by Daniel Pittet, a survivor of clergy abuse. 
In the preface, Francis writes that Pittet’s testimony is “necessary, treasured and courageous” and calls abuse by Catholic priests an “absolute monstrosity.” 
“How can someone who devoted their life to lead children to God, end up instead to devour them in what I called ‘a diabolical sacrifice’ that destroys both the victim and the life of the Church?” says Francis, according to a translation that the Italian news website La Stampa posted Monday. “Some of the victims have been driven to suicide. These deaths weigh on my heart, on my conscience and that of the whole Church. To their families, I offer my feelings of love and pain and humbly, I ask forgiveness.” 
The pope has met with victims and created a pontifical commission …
