The contract manager accepted gifts in exchange for awarding work and submitted false invoices to obtain significant benefits for themself. The manager authorised invoices (both real and fake) for three of the co-accused who worked as sub-contractors along with a former maintenance manager. The subcontractors used the money they were paid to provide gifts to the manager in the form of cash, goods or services. In this webinar Fabian Herzog, Senior Investigator, from the SFO will discuss the case and provide insight into the various fraudulent schemes employed by the five offenders. In his discussion of the various methods, he will identify several of the fraudster personas that were evident in this case.
