Sukhwinder Singh (73), an Indian-born chartered accountant, was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison by a UK court. He was found guilty of stealing 331,858 pounds from a vulnerable victim. On Thursday, Singh was found guilty of four counts of fraud and one act of money laundering at York Crown court in the northeast of England. The victim had social, physical, and learning problems, according to the court, and was misled by Sukhwinder Singh.
Singh's activities in diverting property and money for his own gain, according to Andrea Thomas of the Crown Prosecution Service's Serious Economic Organized and international Directorate (SEOCID), were a serious breach of trust and failed to help and safeguard the victim.
When the victim's parents died, Singh volunteered to settle their financial issues, according to a North Yorkshire police inquiry. In september 2016, Singh, on the other hand, withdrew 34,000 pounds from the victim's bank account and transferred it to his own. Singh moved the victim's Harrogate property, valued at roughly 275,000 pounds, to one of his own firms in the same month. The victim received no monetary compensation. Singh started the deception by creating a number of agreements and letters. Some of the documents purported to be from the victim and those in charge of the victim's affairs, with Singh consenting to accept them.
