Nasreen Shah successfully prosecuted a joint enterprise fraud involving over half a million pounds, following a 7-day trial at Norwich Crown Court.
D1 [who pleaded guilty ahead of trial] was said to have abused his position as a lasting power of attorney to his father’s finances and estate. His father was vulnerable and eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
D2 was said to have known and assisted D1 in abusing his position as a lasting power of attorney over the course of their relationship. Over a period of almost 5 years, the defendants systematically depleted D1’s father’s assets, making a gain for themselves of over half a million pounds.
The case required a detailed forensic analysis of the evidence through cross-referencing of legal documents, medical evidence, and banking evidence, which was carefully compiled in transaction schedules.
The jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty in relation to D2. Both defendants will be sentenced together in due course.
