I would really appreciate some advice please. Mum has Alzheimer's and we have recently got poa and have discovered a five figure fraud. Mum knows nothing about it so we have thoroughly investigated without involving her and are pretty sure we know who is responsible and she is still in contact with the person. There may have been other transactions over a long period. We are now ready to report it. My question first of all is who to, police or social services and if so are there specific departments such as safe guarding or fraud investigations for vulnerable people? My second question is what is the process for questioning mum as the nature of the crime is that I feel they would need to at some stage.
Can I be with her, or at least an appropriate adult? She is likely to be very distressed. I would want at the very least to be told when the interview will take place so I can stay with her afterwards.
Thank you in advance.
