Teen who conned authorities about setting up airline will not face charges

A TEENAGER who conned British aviation bosses into believing he was a tycoon with designs on setting up his own airline will not face prosecution, police have said.

According to reports, the 17-year-old from York bluffed his way through meetings, created fictitious fellow executives of his “airline” and set-up fake websites to bolster his story.

With an imaginative twist, he even made-up an American parent company which signed off emails “American Global Group, 35 Countries, 22 Languages, One Team”.
