A former health care assistant has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for using the credit cards of vulnerable cancer patients she was supposed to care for during their hospital stays, leaving victims feeling “violated and vulnerable.”
Mira Solmaz, 33, from Hackney, east London, admitted to five counts of fraud and three counts of possession of articles for use in fraud at Southwark Crown Court. Her crimes involved exploiting patients’ credit cards during the Covid lockdown when they were isolated from their families.
