A former Stirling district community councillor who embezzled nearly £130,000 from a frail elderly relative she had invited into her Strathyre home has finally been hit with a court order under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Alice Duncan, 74, once a respected member of Strathyre Community Council, was given two months to pay nearly £52,000 under the Act, confiscated as ill-gotten gains.
The order brings to an end a saga that began more than four years ago when Duncan first appeared in open court, initially charged with embezzling in excess of £241,900.
