The former mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson has denied charges of bribery and misconduct - including allegations that he sent himself "threatening letters". The 67-year-old appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Friday where he entered not guilty pleas to bribery, misconduct in a public office and conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office. Anderson, who was the city's elected mayor from 2012 to 2021, is alleged to have sent or arranged to have sent the letters to himself, the court heard.
