Our Solicitors Beat a High-Stakes Fraud Case Involving Elderly Victims & a Family Betrayal!

From the outset, Stuart Miller’s fraud solicitors worked closely with our client to understand his version of events. He explained that he had been unknowingly caught up in the case while trying to help his brother. His role had been limited to purchasing and delivering a top-up for a SIM card at his brother’s request. He was unaware that the SIM was being used in a fraudulent operation. It became clear that our client had no knowledge of the fraud and had simply been helping a family member without understanding the implications. Our defence solicitors emphasized the lack of involvement in any fraudulent activity, we successfully built a case that highlighted the absence of any intent to commit fraud.

The client’s defence was robust, with our fraud solicitors proving that the charges of fraud were unfounded. We worked diligently to ensure that he received the necessary support throughout the process, and the case ultimately demonstrated his innocence.

The prosecution presented CCTV footage, cell site data, and call logs showing our client meeting his brother and handing over the SIM cards. This evidence suggested he was directly involved in the fraud. However, our criminal defence solicitors carefully reviewed the phone evidence and were able to show that the messages between our client and his brother supported his claim of innocence. The texts demonstrated that he did not know about the criminal activity. Additionally, we obtained a psychological report that revealed our client was dyslexic, which made processing complex information more difficult for him. This further supported his explanation that he had acted without full understanding of the situation.
