a FeaTURe in Monday’s

paper about the arrest of anne

Frank by the Gestapo included

a photo of a man who was

wrongly identified as Julius

Dettmann, an SS officer

involved in the search. In fact,

the photo showed German

n fighter ace Hans-Joachim Mar-

seille, who had no connection

with the events described. We

apologise for the error.

reveal that chief executive

Chris Hill, finance chief Philip

Johnson, research director

Mark Dampier and invest-

ment boss Lee Gardhouse are

taking no bonus this year.

Mr Hill was in line for up to

£2.1million and Mr Johnson as

much as £1.5million, with Mr

Dampier’s and Mr Gard-

house’s pay not disclosed.

The under-fire executives

had previously only commit-

ted to delaying any bonus

payments until after savers

could get their money back

from Mr Woodford’s fund.

But a source said Mr Hill, 48,

has since decided he will

instead forgo his bonus

entirely, prompting his col-

leagues to follow suit.

The chief executive has

already issued a grovelling

apology to Hargreaves

Lansdown clients, saying the

believes this is the right thing

to do.’ Mr Woodford blocked

withdrawals from the fund on

June 3. He made the drastic

move after pumping billions of

pounds into risky investments

that were hard to sell in a

hurry. He said he needed more

time to drum up cash that

could be used for refunds.

However, the scandal has

prompted criticism of Har-

greaves Lansdown, which

stood by Mr Woodford right

up until the suspension.

The investment platform

kept Mr Woodford’s equity

Income Fund on a ‘Wealth 50’

list of recommended invest-

ments – a crucial guide used

by Hargreaves Lansdown’s

1.1million customers – up until

the point where withdrawals

were blocked.

Mr Dampier, 62, and Mr

Gardhouse, 45, have come

under particular scrutiny for

their roles in the fiasco.

The Mail previously revealed

that Mr Dampier has known

Mr Woodford for 25 years and

promoted his interests by post-

ing interviews with him online.

Just weeks before the equity

Income Fund was closed, Mr

Dampier told Hargreaves cus-

tomers: ‘This isn’t the first

time... neil Woodford’s under-

performed. We think he’s still

got the skill to deliver excel-

lent long-term performance.’

Mr Gardhouse is responsible

for the part of Hargreaves

Lansdown that has helped to

channel its clients’ money into

Mr Woodford’s investments

through so-called multi-

manager funds.

to give up the bonuses was an

for its bosses to give up their lucra-

The study, published in the

journal nature, also says that

the galaxies are closely con-

nected with supermassive

black holes and the distribu-

Dark matter is invisible as it

emits no light. It is thought to

make up around 85 per cent of

the matter in the universe and

is understood to be what

binds galaxies together.

But the discovery of new,

extremely dense ‘supermas-

sive’ galaxies could alter sci-

entists’ current understand-

ing of dark matter, as they do

not allow for it to operate as

astronomers would expect.

kotaro kohno, from the Uni-

versity of Tokyo, said: ‘Mas-

sive galaxies are intimately

connected with the distribu-

tion of dark matter. Theoreti-

cal researchers will need to

update their theories.’
