flag Lydia Forrester, 60, convicted of defrauding Rutland Haulage of £75,000 over 20 years using a fake account.

flag Lydia Forrester, 60, was found guilty of defrauding Rutland Haulage of £75,000 over two decades by funneling funds into a Halifax account under a fake name, Linda George, whom she claimed was a Ghanaian prostitute and former lover of the company’s late owner. flag Prosecutors said the account was linked to her address, and no evidence of George’s existence was found. flag Forrester, who worked sporadically due to health and caregiving issues, denied financial authority and claimed she followed instructions from the deceased owner. flag The jury acquitted her on a separate fraud charge. flag She faced questions over luxury holidays paid for with no clear source, and a prison sentence is expected in March.
