INHERITANCE fraud

Irish fraudster Francis Fallon (left) was jailed in the UK yesterday for seven years after he forged Land Registry records to get his hands on the property of recently deceased people. The County Cork man tried to claim ownership to the estates of 14 dead people who he said he had been friends with. He even concocted fictitious witness statements to back up his stories. His 76-year-old accomplice Richard Carr had his sentencing deferred after the court was told he went on the run. Read the story here.
