A 29-year-old woman who worked as a prison officer at HMP Peterborough pleaded not guilty to a range of offences at Cambridge Crown Court earlier this month.
The woman stands accused of entering into improper relationships whilst in the prison, as well as drug-smuggling and money-laundering. Five men have been accused alongside her.
The offences are alleged to have occurred in 2020 and 2021, with the intimate relationships beginning in June 2020 and the smuggling starting in July that year. All of these are suspected of being continued until April 2021. The alleged money-laundering is said to have involved the use of various bank accounts to move money that was being used to finance the drugs operation.
Three defendants were released on bail. The others charged are due to appear in court later in January. A trial for all the defendants has been scheduled for Huntingdon Crown Court in April 2027.
