Thieving manager appeared heavily pregnant in court today after being returned to the UK
A "greedy" conwoman who stole more than £150,000 from the charity she worked for has been arrested in Turkey.
Wells was handed an additional four weeks behind bars for breaching bail. She nodded and said "thank you" as she was taken down to the cells. She was "placed in a position of trust" in the organisation, including approving invoices, as part of this role. But an investigation sparked by a whistleblower in December 2020 found that Wells had exploited this position by making dozens of bogus transfers into business accounts linked to her and her friend's husband Francis Jones.
Meanwhile, services provided by the organisation were described as subsequently being "of a lesser quality" due to the financial impact of her crimes. This included trips out being "scaled back" and the cancellation of its Christmas panto visit, with staff being forced to beg a chip shop for free bags of chips for service users.
"She was in an unhealthy relationship with someone who could be described as coercive. It was understood that she was put under pressure by a third party to act in this dishonest fashion."
