NEARLY two dozen people have been jailed for swindling more than £1million since the Grenfell Tower fire nearly three years ago. They have been locked up for an average of more than four years each following the June 2017 blaze which claimed 72 lives. So far, 21 people have been convicted of fraud while investigations into other suspects could lead to further prosecutions, Scotland Yard said. Those convicted claimed to have been residents of the west London block destroyed in the fire. Many used false identities to access the survivors’ fund before spending the cash on top London hotels and holidays.
