A retired bank manager has been convicted after fraudulently raising funds on behalf
of a diabetes charity.
Arthur Bennett of South Norwood in London was found guilty
at Kingston Crown Court of acting as a trustee of a charity whilst disqualified 
by the Charity Commission.

According to BBC London, which yesterday broadcast details of its investigation 
into Bennett’s cativities, he was also found guilty of fraudulent trading under 
the Companies Act, together with two counts of providing false information to the
Charities Aid Foundation.
