Court jails man who conned disabled father in €1.4m fraud

A man who took more than a million pounds from his severely-disabled father's bank account to go on a lavish spending spree has been jailed for five years in England.

Geovonne Oliver, 21, fooled Barclays Bank into thinking he was his father Derrick to take £1.265m (€1.496m) from a medical negligence compensation payment the older man won after a hospital error saw him have to have the lower part of both legs and some fingers amputated in 2008.
