Convicted fraudster Anne Darwin has agreed to repay nearly £600,000 from the faked death scam she carried out with her husband, a court heard today.
The married couple, who conned insurance companies after they staged husband John's death in a fake canoeing accident, will see their assets confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Mrs Darwin will agree to pay a total of £591,838.25 – made up of £363,700.01 compensation to the victims of the crime and £228,138.24 under the terms of the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Husband John, 58, was not at Leeds Crown Court today, but he has agreed to pay a nominal sum of £1 because he has no financial assets.
Mrs Darwin, 57, was in court today for the confiscation hearing.
