John Garlick Llewellyn Poulson (14 April 1910 – 31 January 1993) was a British architectural designer and businessman who caused a major political scandal when his use of bribery was disclosed in 1972. The highest-ranking figure to be forced out due to the scandal was Conservative Home Secretary Reginald Maudling. Poulson served a prison sentence, but continued to protest his innocence, claiming that he was "a man more sinned against than sinning".

  • John Garlick Llewellyn Poulson (14 avril 1910 à Pontefract, Yorkshire, Angleterre - 31 janvier 1993 à Leeds, Yorkshire de l'Ouest, Angleterre) est un architecte et homme d'affaires britannique qui provoqua un important scandale politique lorsqu'il fut révélé en 1972 qu'il versait des pots-de-vin à des officiers du gouvernement du Royaume-Uni. Plusieurs démissions s'ensuivirent, dont la plus notable est celle du Home Secretary de l'époque, Reginald Maudling. Poulson purgea une peine d'emprisonnement, mais continua de clamer son innocence, affirmant être « un homme plus sali d'avoir peché que d'avoir peché ». (fr)
