Thanks to ITV News (the only ones so far who've reported it) we know that, of the nine former A4e staff who were arrested on fraud charges, five are to be charged. The CPS says:
"It is alleged that on or before 18 March 2011 A4e employees Ines Cano-Uribe (Contract Manager), Sarah Hawkins (Quality Co-Ordinator), Serge Wyett (Operations Manager), Matthew Hannigan Train (Team Leader) and Hayley Wilson (Recruiter) conspired to forge documentation in relation to services provided by A4e, with the intention of convincing Department for Work and Pensions auditors that the documentation and claim for payment were genuine. One of the women, Ines Cano-Uribe, already faces two existing charges relating to the alleged fraudulent activity at A4e."
It seems to confirm that the charges relate to forging job outcome claims. These five will appear at Slough Magistrates' Court on 6 January.
