The quote comes from the statement issued by the Institute of Masters of Wine (16th December 2011) announcing the setting up of an inquiry into Pancho Campo's conduct. <br /><br />Thus it is reasonable to assume that Campo is well aware that by resigning he gave up the right to use the MW initials. Indeed it is noticeable that he has dropped their use over the past few months. He did, however, update his MW profile listing Charade Management (aka Chrand Management) as his current employer.<br /><br />All in all a rather desperate piece of face-saving spin.Jim's Loirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696024920441263899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-27292633244721005632012-05-05T03:58:57.943+01:002012-05-05T03:58:57.943+01:00This from the IMW website:

The main change is that Campo's wife, Melissa Butler, has taken the role of general director/administrator of The Wine Academy on on paper. Sort of the same maneuver when Kevin Zraly took the role of director of Wine Future Rioja 2009 from Campo when the Interpol scandal broke out to the press. <br /><br />I wonder how much of the MoW investigation was available to Campo before he made his decision to resign. I also wondered if the MoW investigation just concentrated on the Murciagate events or if it also considered the Interpol notice from a few years back, the false claims about his CIE Marbella affiliation with Middlesex University or the civil court case in Marbella against The Wine Academy in 2007 seeking to recover an unpaid bill.<br /><br />Anyway, kudos to Jim, Harold, Vincent and others for their hard work in exposing Campo for what he really is. <br /><br />Anonymous 99Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-5712560866698125042012-05-04T02:14:32.280+01:002012-05-04T02:14:32.280+01:00Leaving is typically an option for professional de...Leaving is typically an option for professional designations.
