Pamela Gwinnett, a 63-year-old woman convicted of fraud against an 89-year-old pensioner in Lancashire, is arrested in Tenerife, Spain as the UK moves to extradite her to face justice. Sources say Gwinnett fled to the Spanish island in April 2025 while she was on bail awaiting trial for offences connected to the case. The allegations involve swindling pensioner Joan Green of about £296,000 to £300,000 by persuading her to hand over financial control. Reporting also links the money to discretionary spending, including payments described as Botox treatments and expensive meals. Multiple outlets describe Gwinnett as a “black widow” fraudster. One source states she faces serving a six-year prison sentence, while another reports she is being held pending extradition proceedings. The articles present consistent timelines: the fraud targets the same victim, Gwinnett leaves the UK on bail in April 2025, and Spanish authorities detain her in Tenerife, with extradition to Britain expected to follow legal processes.
