Kenyan Wife Of Nigerian Fraudster, Nigerian Jailed In Britain by mekuszyx: 6:36am On Mar 25, 2010 |
Kenyan wife of Nigerian fraudster, Nigerian jailed in Britain THE Kenyan wife of a Nigerian fugitive fraudster was jailed for four years in Britain, on Wednesday, for the role she played in mortgage fraud. Ruth Ayinde-Azeez, 26, a care home assistant, who led a life of luxury thanks to an £8 million mortgage fraud, sobbed as she was sentenced, on Wednesday. A Nigerian, Isaac Matthews, 42, of Chatham, Kent, was sentenced to six years in jail. Ruth Ayinde-Azeez lived in a six-bedroom mansion containing 12 plasma TVs and drove around in a top-of-the range Bentley and Land Rover. She took lavish holidays in Dubai and the south of France, kept £1.6 million in her bank accounts and blew huge sums at upmarket bars and restaurants. But her lifestyle was funded by crime, Southwark Crown Court heard. Her husband, Victor, a fraudster who is on the run overseas, led a mortgage con gang which plundered nearly £6 million from high street banks in just six weeks using a network of front companies and crooked solicitors. The court heard that Ruth Ayinde-Azeez was sucked into the criminal world of her husband and came to enjoy the trappings of excessive wealth. The Kenyan national laundered £1.25 million and was jailed, on Wednesday, for four years for her part in the fraud. |
