Zholia Alemi is a 'most accomplished fraudster' who forged a certificate to get work, a jury hears.

Zholia Alemi worked as a psychiatrist after claiming to have qualified in New Zealand, the trial heard

Mr Stables told the court Ms Alemi had forged a degree certificate and a letter of verification and sent them to the General Medical Council in 1995 with the aim of becoming registered as a doctor in the UK. He said Ms Alemi was born in Tehran, Iran, but records showed she presented in New Zealand in 1986 and married a year later, giving her occupation as nurse.The court heard that by 1995, she was living at an address in Winchester, Hampshire, and had gone on to join the GMC medical register using the legitimate Commonwealth Route.

"In this regard, she completely deceived the GMC into accepting that she was a fully qualified doctor [when] in fact, she never was."He said the court would be shown evidence that Ms Alemi failed her medical exams and, after repeated resits, was asked to withdraw from the medical faculty.
