if I agree to become someone's power of attorney who has committed a fraud ( and they acknowledge it) and I am aware of it, and I do make decisions on their behalf due to, say eg dementia, if the fraud is exposed am I , as the attorney, now also implicated in the fraud ?

If you are dealing with property/assets tainted by fraud, then quite possibly, yes.
