More than 20 fraud trials could be
declared unsafe after it emerged a star prosecution witness is a
fantasist with no qualifications.
Andrew
Ager, who has testified in a string of court cases, was called to give
evidence in a multi-million pound diamond scam trial that later
collapsed.
In total, victims lost
£3.5million but the eight defendants walked free from court after a
judge was forced to deliver not guilty verdicts on multiple fraud
charges.
The men were cleared after it
emerged Ager, a witness for the prosecution, had no academic
qualifications - and could not even remember if he had passed his
A-Levels."
