A dead man in the United Kingdom was accused of being the driver of a car caught on camera speeding. The man’s son Vasille Georgiou blamed three speeding tickets on his father to get out the tickets, two of which occurred after the man’s death. After Georgiou’s blame-the-dead-man scam was discovered, a court sentenced him to four months in jail for his dishonest conduct. Georgiou has also lost his driving privileges for eight months.
