He said Alemi had deceived the GMC into accepting that she was a fully qualified doctor through “bogus assertions as to what her experience had been”. “She had in fact secured entry on to the GMC register of medical practitioners but had done so by fraud; by forging her qualifications and other documents, which induced the GMC to accept her as genuine.”The court heard that Alemi had practised as a doctor in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland between 1998 and 2017, “quite literally the length and breadth of the country”, according to Stables.

Stables said: “A conservative estimate, and I stress a conservative estimate, as to the quantum – so the overall amount of money fraudulently obtained by the defendant from the NHS – is somewhere, the prosecution say, between £1m and £1.3m.”
