The brother of former Alpine F1 team principal Oliver Oakes is set
for a criminal trial in April 2027, after being charged with being
in possession of large amounts of criminal property, in the form of
cash. Oliver Oakes resigned from his role as Alpine team boss on
May 6, shortly following the Miami Grand Prix, after it emerged his
brother William had been arrested and remanded in custody by the
Metropolitan Police in the Silverstone Park area of
Northamptonshire. William Oakes recently appeared twice before
Northampton Crown Court to plead not guilty to all charges and then
to request bail before trial. Judge Adrienne Lucking granted
William Oakes bail, with the trial set for April 2027. He is
accused of being in possession of criminally-obtained cash, with
the sums of £831,885; €46,120, and $10,000. Last week, William
Oakes also resigned as a director of Hitech Grand Prix, according
to publicly available documents on Companies House.
