Ex-police officer and woman defraud €230,000 pretending to be private investigators
Local
Ex-police officer Grace Gatt and accomplice Lourdes Castillo have been granted a two-year suspended sentence for four years after being found guilty of defrauding a man for €230,000, pretending to be private investigators.
The case dates back to 2004 when the victim found out about the two woman from a newspaper advertisement and was blackmailed that he would be caught sending messages to an underage girl.
Gatt was terminated from the Police Corps in 2006 but won a European Court Case for Human Rights after it was found that the case was not given adequate and impartial consideration.
