British Woman Extradited To U.S. Can Go Home Within Weeks
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) -- A British woman who with her husband lost a long and public fight against being extradited to the United States to face fraud charges will be able to return home within weeks.
A judge on Thursday said Sandra Dunham must serve 18 days of home confinement before she can return to England. Dunham and her husband pleaded guilty late last year to stealing $1 million from their former employer, North Carolina-based Pace Inc. They acknowledged that they charged personal expenses to corporate credit cards and submitted fraudulent reimbursement requests.
Dunham's husband, Paul Dunham, will be sentenced next week and is expected to serve a prison sentence. The pair's plea agreements order them to repay the $1 million they stole, but they have said they are broke.
