Zholia Alemi, 55, worked for the health service for 22 years after duping her way on to the UK medical register with a forged degree certificate in 1995. Her lies were only discovered after she was convicted of trying to fake the will of an elderly woman to steal her £1.3million fortune. Despite her interactions with regulatory bodies, nobody picked up on the fact that she did not have a medical degree. Last night a spokesman for the GMC admitted their checks in 1995, when Alemi entered the medical register, were ‘inadequate’.
