July 17 in the British city of Durham, **a trial** took place for 52-year-old Peter Connelly for loan fraud. The composer is banned from holding the position of company director for 6 years, and he was also sentenced to a 16-month prison term.

During COVID-19, the UK launched an initiative to provide loans to small and medium-sized businesses. The British composer concealed the existence of one loan when taking out a second one, which was against the terms of the program. Peter also inflated the revenue (£150,000 instead of £58,000, data from 2019) of his organization when applying for the loan. The first loan Peter Connelly received was for £22,000, and the second loan was for £37,500.

Peter Connelly even sold his car to significantly improve the soundtrack for Tomb Raider, but the pandemic halted everything, and Peter's company Peter Connelly Limited was dissolved in 2021, with the loans unpaid.

The composer has also worked as a sound designer on games such as Watch Dogs, The Crew, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, and Dead Island 2.
