An 84-year-old British woman who featured in the Netflix documentary Con Mum for allegedly scamming her son out of £300,000 has been charged with multiple counts of fraud in Singapore.
Dionne Marie Hanna appeared before Singapore’s State Courts via video link from a hospital bed on Saturday, unrepresented and accompanied by an investigating officer, local media reported.
She was charged with five counts of fraud by false representation involving three alleged victims and subsequently ordered remanded for a week after her release from the Tan Tock Seng Hospital. She will next appear in court on Friday.
After the documentary aired on 25 March, several individuals in Singapore recognised her from the film and reported being defrauded by her, the Singapore police said. The authorities said the complaints began coming in on 28 March, the same day she was arrested.
