Insurance fraud expert used his skills to steal £400,000
A FRAUD expert used his specialist skills to pocket more than £400,000 from his employers over a six-year period.
Gordon Murray, a fraud co-ordinator for insurance firm National Farmer's Union Mutual, duped friends and family - including two police officers - into helping him with the scheme.
The 30-year-old encouraged them to invest in a fake share plan so that he could use their bank accounts to deposit cheques which funded his "luxury lifestyle".
