A woman who abused her position at solicitor firms to fraudulently gain more than £700,000 has been jailed.
Caprice Lindo, 40-years-old and from Bradford, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison at Manchester Crown Court, on Monday (3 April 2017).
She pleaded guilty to money laundering and eight counts of fraud at a previous hearing. Lindo haemorrhaged hundreds-of-thousands of pounds from customers at several solicitors into accounts of her alleged associates.
Detective Constable Shaun Nicholls, of GMP’s Fraud Investigation Team, said: “This was an audacious string of crimes where Lindo shamelessly abused her positions of trust and responsibility. Her selfish actions caused customers, colleagues, and other organisations undue stress and confusion, and determined efforts are still being made to ensure all the money is returned to its rightful owners. I hope this outcome brings home the message that fraudsters who think they can get away with deceitfully feathering their own nests will be brought to justice with robust consequences.”
