Sir Martin Sorrell in denial

According to various media sources, Sir Martin Sorrell has ‘strenuously’ denied allegations, which WPP investigated the former company chair for paying a sex worker with the ad network’s finances. Recently, the claim was made in a report by The Wall Street Journal. The report focused on WPP’s investigation of alleged financial misconduct by Sorrell. The report cited ‘people familiar with the matter’ as saying the investigation focused on use of company funds to pay a sex worker. Just a few days after word of an investigation into inappropriate behavior, Sorrell stepped down as WPP chairman. The allegation comes ahead of WPP’s first annual general meeting following Sorrell’s departure.
