Eastbourne woman convicted of £5 million fraud
An Eastbourne fraudster who duped property investors out of more than £5 million by promising them impossible returns has been convicted following a prosecution by the CPS Specialist Fraud Division.
Sascha Morris, 46, was convicted of two counts of fraud and another of fraudulent trading following a trial at Leeds Crown Court. She will be sentenced on January 9.
The court heard how Morris, who used to live in Harrogate, persuaded UK investors to part with cash for off-plan properties in Cyprus by promising false returns on quick sales.
