PRESS RELEASE: Former Belfast councillor reported to PSNI for de-frauding Britain First
Britain First leader Paul Golding has officially reported former Belfast city councillor Jolene Bunting to the PSNI for fraud.
This comes less than a week after Ms Bunting was found guilty of de-frauding Britain First by NIPSO, the Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman.
NIPSO found that Ms Bunting had altered/doctored her Belfast City Council wage slip to scam money from Britain First.
Mr Golding submitted a bundle of evidence to the PSNI via the online form on their website.
He is now waiting for an officer from the PSNI to get in touch to take a full statement.
The weight of evidence in this case is so overwhelming that Mr Golding says it is a foregone conclusion that Ms Bunting will be found guilty of fraud as a criminal charge.
“Ms Bunting abused her position as a Belfast city councillor to commit fraud against me, and Britain First. NIPSO have already found her to have committed fraud, and she is banned from standing for election as a result. Now the case has been handed to the PSNI for criminal investigation and I will pursue this to the bitter end,” said Mr Golding.
