Wife of canoeist to pay back insurance money
Convicted fraudster Anne Darwin has agreed to repay nearly £600,000 from the faked death scam she carried out with her husband, a court heard today.
The married couple, who conned insurance companies after they staged husband John's death in a fake canoeing accident, will see their assets confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Mrs Darwin will agree to pay a total of 591,838.25 – made up of 363,700.01 compensation to the victims of the crime and 228,138.24 under the terms of the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Husband John, 58, was not at Leeds Crown Court today, but he has agreed to pay a nominal sum of 1 because he has no financial assets.
Mrs Darwin, 57, was in court today for the confiscation hearing.
