Is it possible to prosecute a British person living abroad for a theft in the UK?
Hello Members and thank you in advance for any advice.
An adult child transferred a lot of money from UK account of their dad, using (well, abusing) POA, to their personal account. The father was elderly and suffering from Alzheimers. The Executor is wondering how to go about getting the money back, because the parent died in America and the adult child lives in the middle east. Does anyone know how to go about prosecuting someone under English law who is not living here? I gather the Mental Disability Act and the Theft Act both apply - if fraud is proven. There is a lot of evidence. I am asking on behalf of executor of the deceased's will. Thank you. I have asked if medical confirmation exists that the man had alzheimers but don't know the answer to that yet.
