Fraudster mum stole £166k from firm and gorged on Greggs and Deliveroo takeaways
A personal assistant stole more than £166,000 from a former business director while living in a £1million home. Hemalatha Jayaprakash, 44, joined the Birmingham-based Northwood estate agents in 2012 as a personal assistant to director Nin Rehal, 57. Jayaprakash stole more than £6,000 knowing he was out of the office because his mother had passed away 24 hours earlier. The officer manager splurged on lottery tickets, Greggs and Deliveroo takeaways. When he decided to sell in 2023, Jayaprakash's fraud was exposed when the accounts were examined. In court, Jayaprakash said she sent money to pay her child's school fees and help relatives in India who lost their homes in floods. Jayaprakash wailed in anguish when she was jailed for two years and three months at Birmingham Crown Court on May 21 after pleading guilty to fraud and abuse of position. Rehal said he was 'devastated' that he had been betrayed by his trusted personal assistant. He said: 'This fraud was not opportunistic; it was calculated, premeditated and a sustained scheme executed over multiple years. 'I used to confide in Jayaprakash in daily meetings, sometimes in tears, but she would tell me not to worry about the office, all is in control with the team.' Jayaprakash turned up at Rehal's mother's funeral with her husband. Rehal said: 'This is the level of greed, deception and betrayal we are dealing with.' He told the court he had to release equity from his family home to make ends meet, including supporting his two children at university. Rehal added: 'Meanwhile, Mrs Jayaprakash resides in a £1million property, purchased outright in 2018, and benefits from income generated by a portfolio of at least eight rental properties.' Jayaprakash's husband said his family had no idea about her deception and were planning a family trip to India. She told him she was driving off in the family Land Rover to view offices for a new job but was instead appearing in court. The family only found out she had been jailed 12 hours later, following their own search and getting in contact with police. Jayaprakash told MailOnline: 'We weren't aware of any of this, it is such a difficult time for the family. We had absolutely no idea. 'My wife didn't need the money and we are trying to find out what really happened, and maybe she was coerced by someone. More Trending 'We don't have any money issues, we are not struggling financially, so why would she do this? 'We cannot comprehend this, it is beyond belief and we are totally shattered and devastated. It is such a shock.' Recorder Amy Jackson said: 'Everything I have read about this lady takes me to the belief she is from an affluent background where she ought not to need to steal to fund a lifestyle and effectively does lead a lavish lifestyle. This was pure greed.' A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing will be held on August 26 to determine issues around confiscation, costs and compensation.

Major rule change for millions of EV drivers across England – will YOU be affected?
The rule has already come into effect ELECTRIC SHOCK Major rule change for millions of EV drivers across England – will YOU be affected? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR rule change could affect millions of electric vehicle drivers. The rule came into effect on May 29. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A new rule could make it even easier to find EV charging stations Credit: Getty 4 EVs could save drivers £1,100 a year in running costs Credit: Getty 4 The new rule came into effect on May 29 Credit: Getty It is good news for electric vehicle drivers, as the new rule means that drivers and businesses no longer need to submit a planning application before installing public or private EV sockets. It's hoped that it will save both money and time for drivers and the planning committees. Lilian Greenwood, the Future of Roads Minister, announced the news. She said in an announcement: "More drivers will be able to save up to £1,100 a year as the government cuts red tape to make it easier than ever to install electric vehicle chargepoints." This saving is calculated for the comparative running cost of a petrol or diesel model. The minister is hoping that the new system will lead to more public charging points, encouraging drivers to go electric. There are currently an estimated 80,000 charge points in the UK. with one installed every 29 minutes according to the statement. In the last year alone, 18,000 sockets were installed in workplace carparks. Further incentives have been offered through a scheme that entitles those renting or owning a flat with on-street parking to receive £350 off the cost of installing a home charger. Some motorists seemed less than thrilled by the news, sharing their concerns on social media. Japanese giant unveils its new bargain EV with quirky 'bug eye' headlights One person wrote: "There's four houses on my street it's going to be chocker block, my husband wouldn't be able to pull into the drive." Others were skeptical about how successful the scheme will be, as one said: "It will take decades for electric infrastructure not to mention the streets and homes and flats with no access for electric charging points." Another commented: "Why is our government so fixed on forcing us down the ev manufacturers are scaling back on ev now." As more car manufacturers shift towards electric vehicles, the government is hoping Britain will become a leader in the eco-friendly industry. Not only will this help with meeting climate targets, but they hope it will also create more jobs as part of their Plan for Change initiative. The government has already safeguarded 150,000 jobs in the industry through trade deals with the US, India and the EU. A further 1,000 jobs were created by an investment of £1 billion in a Sunderland-based gigafactory - the term for an electric vehicle manufacturing plant. Responding to the new changes, the Operations Director of Osprey Charging Network Lewis Gardiner, said: "This is a hugely welcome and practical change that will make a real difference on the ground. "Removing the need for planning permission for essential electrical infrastructure like substations across the majority of sites will save months of delays, reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of the rapid charging hubs drivers need. "It's the result of months of collaboration between industry and government and we're proud to have played a key role in making it happen." Switching to an electric vehicle can bring a range of benefits for drivers, particularly as the market continues to expand. This includes financial benefits like the running costs being as low as 2p per mile. As the market expands, EV cars are becoming more affordable, with 2 in 5 used EVs now under £20,000 and 29 brand new models for under £30,000. Their engines have also improved, with most new EVs boasting a range of nearly 300 miles on one charge. The new government rule is helping to make it easier than ever to drive an electric vehicle, with the hopes of encouraging more accessible charging stations across the UK.

French Senate addresses the challenge of curbing the rise of ‘fast fashion'
Paris - After considerable time in Parliament, a bill to curb 'fast fashion' was reviewed in the French Senate. The Senate aimed to legislate against this 'short-lived' or 'disposable' fashion shipped at discounted prices from China, with giants Shein and Temu in its sights. Inexpensive, of poor quality, easy to order, often highly polluting and constantly renewed, these garments, which saturate the market and compete with established players in the textile industry, faced potential regulation of their influx into France. This was the subject of the text reviewed in the evening at the upper house. Championed by Horizons MP Anne-Cécile Violland, the bill to 'reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry' had languished for over a year on the Senate's desk, following its adoption in March 2024 by the National Assembly. The phenomenon itself did not stop: between 2010 and 2023, the number of garments placed on the market in France increased from 2.3 billion to 3.2 billion; more than 48 garments per inhabitant were placed on the market each year in France and 35 were discarded every second in the country, according to Ademe, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency. 'Today, these giants of ultra fast fashion are invading the market without any control. We must establish rules, hit them as best as possible and as hard as possible,' Sylvie Valente Le Hir, the Les Républicains senator in charge of reporting the text to the Senate, told AFP. Targeting 'ultra' fast fashion Among the key measures was the establishment in law of a definition of 'fast fashion', with criteria based on the volumes manufactured, the speed of collection renewal, the limited 'lifespan' of products and the 'low incentive' to repair them. The targeted companies would then have obligations such as raising consumer awareness of the 'environmental impact' of their clothing. The bill also provided for enhanced sanctions for these platforms through a revised 'bonus-malus' system taking into account the 'environmental costs' of excessive production. On this mechanism, a divergence seemed to appear between the National Assembly and the Senate. The MPs wished to link these penalties to the 'environmental labelling' of products, a recent rating method. But the Senate, in agreement with the government, removed this reference in committee, preferring criteria related to 'sustainability' and 'commercial practices' specific to these platforms. A new draft aimed to target more specifically the 'ultra fast fashion' of Asian companies Shein and Temu, while preserving other European or French companies that could have been affected by the text voted on in the Assembly. 'The idea is to target outrageous models,' the Ministry of Ecological Transition acknowledged. 'This is the case with ultra fast fashion because the number of references is out of all proportion to what we might call simply fast fashion.' Advertising This refocusing of the text worried the Stop Fast Fashion coalition, which brought together 14 environmental and human rights associations, including Emmaus, France Nature Environnement, Friends of the Earth and Zero Waste. For them, the initiative could therefore 'become nothing more than an empty shell, with no dissuasive effect'. Another sign that the debate would be closely scrutinised was that two associations – Friends of the Earth and the Multinationals Observatory – increased the pressure on Shein in recent days by asking the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP) to 'exercise its right of control' over the company's lobbying activities, accusing the giant, founded in China but based in Singapore, of 'irregularities'. 'I hope that my colleagues will have the capacity to push back against the lobbies,' said Socialist senator Nicole Bonnefoy, alarmed by a 'current trend in Parliament which gives pride of place to environmental regressions'. Discussions in the chamber also revolved around the banning of advertising for 'fast fashion' companies. The Senate majority, a right-centrist alliance, opposed it on the grounds that it would restrict the 'freedom to do business'. But the government was in favour and attempted to reinstate this ban, supported by the left. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.
