CPS: Mortgage fraud group aware of their 'deceitfulness'

The Crown Prosecution Service has welcomed convictions for five people involved in a mortgage fraud worth £20m.

The scale, duration and sophistication of this fraudulent scheme are a demonstration of criminal behaviour at its most devious.

The actions of the five members of this mortgage fraud ring were motivated by nothing more than greed, and their willingness to betray the trust of mortgage lenders for personal profit seemed to have no limits.

Each of the co-conspirators sentenced today had their own specific role to play in this intricate crime, and all were fully aware of the deceitfulness of their actions.
