You might want to read the actual findings:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/Wakefield_SPM_and_SANCTION.pdf_3259526...

Amongst other things: found guilty of serious professional misconduct; diverted £25,000 of lab budget without telling his superiors where it was going; did invasive procedures on children when (a) his contract at the hospital explicitly said he could not treat patients, and (b) he was not trained for pediatrics.

It doesn't however mention the "fraud" word (it calls him "dishonest" and "irresponsible" instead), but this is hardly the behaviour of a reputable scientist.
