Jury out in ex-MP Jared O'Mara's fraud trial
The jury in the trial of a former MP accused of submitting fraudulent invoices totalling nearly £30,000 has retired to consider its verdict.
The prosecution alleges the invoices were being submitted to help him fund an "extensive cocaine habit".The former MP was elected to Parliament for Labour in June 2017, but quit the party the following year and became an independent after he was suspended by Labour over comments he had posted online before becoming an MP.
Prosecutors allege Mr O'Mara made several fraudulent claims to Ipsa from a "fictitious" organisation called Confident About Autism South Yorkshire, and submitted two invoices from his "chief of staff" Gareth Arnold for media and PR work he had not carried out.
