A woman known as the “Black Widow” is jailed after being on the run for about 16 months in Tenerife. Multiple reports say she targeted a vulnerable pensioner and used deception to obtain money, ultimately swindling nearly £300,000. Authorities describe the scheme as involving a “web of lies” that enabled her to take advantage of the victim’s circumstances over a sustained period. The case follows her escape and time abroad before she is located, returned, and sentenced. The reporting emphasizes the amount stolen and the length of time she avoided justice while in Tenerife. Details about the specific methods of fraud, the exact timeline of the offences, and the length of the prison sentence are not provided in the supplied text. Overall, the accounts align that she was convicted for fraud against the pensioner, that her nickname reflects the deceptive nature of her conduct, and that her capture came after a prolonged period in hiding.
