Alleged Fraud

  • Reference Number: 1973
  • Date released: 23 July 2009

Request

I am requiring information in relation to a case of alleged Fraud going back to 2007/2008.

I believe the case was not allowed to be pursued to its correct conclusion due to the alleged victim being implicated as an accomplice.

Please can you inform me as to the Officers Name or Number which was involved in the case.

How the case was concluded,was it investigated to the full or did the alleged victim decide not to pursue,and reasons why this was allowed to happen.

I am the son of the victim and wish to find out if justice has been served or there was more to this situation that has been covered up before the case reached its natural conclusion.

Response

In accordance with the Act our response is as follows:

The Cheshire Constabulary can neither confirm nor deny that it holds the information you have requested. To give a statement of the reasons why neither confirming nor denying is appropriate in this case would itself involve disclosure of exempt information, therefore under section 17 (4), no explanation can be given, To the extent that section 40 (5) applies, the Cheshire Constabulary has determined that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exclusion of the duty to neither confirm nor deny outweighs the public interest in confirming whether or not information is held.
