Mirriam Clark is jailed after building up a property empire in England and
Zambia and sending her children to private school with stolen money.
A bookkeeper at a leading real estate firm who plundered £2 million from her
bosses to launch her own property empire in Zambia and send her children to
private school has been jailed for four years.
Mirriam Clark, 47, spent the money on first class flights to Africa, funded
her children's education, bought properties in her native Zambia and used
stolen funds to maintain five homes she owned across England and Wales,
Southwark Crown Court heard.
Clark was working for Dowley Turner Real Estate from their luxury offices on
London's Bond Street at the time of the thefts.
Prosecutor Charles Pentangeli said only £295,000 has been recovered by Clark's
former bosses so far.
"This fraud was carried out over a three-and-a-half year period while
the defendant was the bookkeeper for the property and real estate
consultancy firm Dowley Turner Real Estate, based in London.
