29岁的纳塔莎·福恩,前大都会警察通讯官员,在使用伪造病假证书要求从2022年11月到2024年5月期间约200天休假后承认欺诈行为.这使得部队损失了大约19,000英. Natasha Fountain, 29, a former Metropolitan Police communications officer, admitted fraud by misrepresentation after using forged sick notes to claim around 200 days of leave from November 2022 to May 2024, costing the force approximately £19,000. 她从2022年6月起至2024年8月工作. She worked from June 2022 until August 2024. 检察官说, 在她声称的病期内没有她的GP预约记录, 这些笔记并未反映诊所的地址变化. Prosecutors said there were no records of her GP appointments during the claimed illness period, and the notes did not reflect the practice’s address change. 司法官布里奥尼·克拉克称这起欺诈行为"相当复杂", 并指出其实是故意的伪造, Judge Briony Clarke called the fraud “quite sophisticated,” noting deliberate forgery beyond simple deception. 福恩特面临着包括严重焦虑在内的精神健康挑战, 被授予无条件保释并将于4月20日在威斯敏斯特地方法院宣判. Fountain, who faced mental health challenges including severe anxiety, was granted unconditional bail and will be sentenced on April 20 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
