A woman who faked a medical degree certificate to work as a psychiatrist for more than two decades committed a "wicked deception", a judge has said.
Alemi, of Plumbe Street, Burnley, had denied 20 offences including forgery but was found guilty by a jury.She will be sentenced at the court on 28 February after being convicted of 13 counts of fraud, three of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception, two of forgery and two of using a false instrument.
She was also accused of sending a forged letter of verification, which the court heard had verify spelt as "varify" and referred to "six years medical trainee with satisfactory grade".Christopher Stables, prosecuting, said Alemi was believed to be 60, but had given three different dates of birth on documents.
Addressing her, Judge Manley said there was "only one possible sentence and that will be a sentence of immediate custody of some substantial length".
So weird, almost all criminals on the news in the UK dont have anything like the same sort of names I remember from school x
So didn't check her cred's? for 22 years. So wonder how many others have a job that don't have one; as not qualified. albeit tad ironic; today if diversity criteria would be qualified with a mickey Mouse degree.
How was it possible?
