CONVICTIONS SECURED

Amy Oliver acted as second junior prosecuting counsel in a case involving what has been described as “Britain’s biggest benefit fraud”. Amy assisted in the preparation and bringing of the case against the five defendants who all, ultimately, pleaded guilty today to fraud and money laundering offences. They are due to be sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court in May.

Amy was instructed by Ben Reid of the CPS Serious Economic, Organised & International Directorate who stated “For a number of years, these defendants conspired to commit industrial-scale fraud against the Universal Credit system, costing the taxpayer more than £50 million”.
