Grenfell Tower: Kensington council worker charged with fraud offences
A woman who worked for the Royal Borough Kensington and Chelsea Council has been charged with fraud offences relating to the Grenfell Tower fire.
Jenny McDonagh, 39, from Abbey Wood, was charged today with two counts of fraud by abuse of position, one count of theft by employee, and one count of money laundering.
“The charges relate to having obtained money intended for those affected by the tragedy while being neither a survivor nor a bereaved family member herself,” Scotland Yard said in a statement today.
McDonagh was arrested on 29 August, following her initial arrest on 1 August.
She will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
