Flora Mendes, a former solicitor who was struck off in 2015, has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for exploiting the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the Windrush scheme to submit fraudulent immigration applications.
Mendes, 45, from Luton, pleaded guilty to all 15 charges against her, which included making up fake addresses in Grenfell Tower to deceive immigrants into believing she was a legitimate immigration lawyer who could assist them in obtaining residency in the UK. She also exploited the Windrush scheme, providing immigration services to five individuals without being qualified to do so.
