Pc Craig Carter stole money from Claudio Gaetani, a deceased man with dwarfism in London. Carter faces a likely custodial sentence after pleading guilty to misconduct in public office.
Judge Daniel Fugallo ordered a pre-sentence report for Carter and granted him unconditional bail pending sentencing. The Met officer is suspended from duty following the investigation into the theft.
The friend of Gaetani, who found money missing from his wallet, described the incident as disrespectful and upsetting. Gaetani was praised for his positive attitude and adventurous spirit despite his condition.
Tetteh Turkson from the Crown Prosecution Service mentioned that Carter failed to meet public expectations of a police officer by stealing from a deceased victim, highlighting the breach of trust and integrity.
