'Black Widow' Fraudster Pamela Gwinnett Lands at Manchester Airport
The 63-year-old was convicted of fraud by abuse of position and theft after exploiting a pensioner’s trust and life savings.
- On Thursday, July 30, convicted fraudster Pamela Gwinnett arrived at Manchester Airport under National Crime Agency escort after being arrested in Tenerife and extradited to face her six-year prison sentence.
- A jury convicted Gwinnett last year of fraud by abuse of position and theft after she manipulated the elderly Joan Green into granting her Lasting Power of Attorney while acting as an unofficial carer.
- Judge Michael Maher stated Gwinnett treated Mrs Green like a "cash cow to be milked until she was dry," stealing over £296,000 from her life savings after isolating her from family.
- Scheduled to appear at Preston Crown Court today, Friday, July 31, Gwinnett faces Judge Michael Maher, who previously condemned her for treating the legal process with "utter contempt."
- Authorities hope Gwinnett's return to serve her sentence provides justice for the family of Mrs Green, who died in 2022 before witnessing the fraudster face accountability in person.
