Ex-Cop Accused Of £100K Sick Pay Swindle

A former Metropolitan Police officer, accused of a £100,000-plus sick pay scam, has appeared in court with the aid of a walking stick for the first time.

Richard Williams, 39, is alleged to have produced forged medical certificates to ensure he received full pay while declared unfit for duty.

Williams, of The Olde Walnut House, Aylesbury Road, Bierton, Aylesbury appeared on bail at Westminster Magistrates Court.

He was sent to Southwark Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on April 29.

Williams is charged with nine counts of fraud by false representation on dates between April 24, 2015 and December 13, 2017.

He faces one charge of possessing an article for use in fraud on November 23, 2017, namely a quantity of Med 3 fit note medical certificates.

The court heard Williams was involved in a traffic crash while on duty and committed the offence with the intention of being pensioned off.
