A 62-year-old man is on trial in London after being accused of stealing over a million pounds from his elderly mother.

Southwark Crown Court heard that Jonathan Feld of Chatsworth Road, Kilburn, is accused of stealing £1.5 million from his 89-year-old mother when visiting her in Israel.

Mr Feld denies the two charges of theft between October 2014 and September 2018 and claims his mother Hannah gave him the money as a gift.

He is accused of withdrawing money from his mother’s account via ATMs in Israel, and then moving 1.3 million of it into a joint Julius Baer Swiss bank account.
