35-year-old Conservative Guildford borough councilor Monika Juneja has today (Aug 13) been charged with at total of seven offences, including one count of wilfully pretending to be a barrister contrary to the Legal Services Act 2007.
Monika Juneja was also charged with two offences contrary to the Fraud Act 2006, three offences contrary to the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, and one count of pecuniary advantage contrary to the Theft Act 1968 when she returned to Guildford Police Station earlier today.
Last week, Juneja was bailed to allow the Crown Prosecution Service to review the case and reach a charging decision, which has resulted in today’s charges.
The Tory councillor has been released on bail and is due to appear at South West Surrey Magistrate's Court in Guildford on 2 September 2014.
