They won't be the only ones. There's said to £11bn lost in benefit fraud.
Weren't we assured that UC was supposed to be more fraud proof than the old system?
Also they were caught in 2021 and are only now up in court. No doubt the lawyers have milked a few more millions in that time.
I wonder how many false claims they put in to bag £50 million. Given a £25,000 benefit cap that's 500 claims for 4 years. DWP werent exactly quick to spot such wholesale fraud were they.

Quicker than any government dept has found any covid business loan fraud or tory mates PPE fraud. Also they were caught in 2021 and are only now up in court. No doubt the lawyers have milked a few more millions in that time.

So taking bets, what will they get as punishment, 6 years, four years served? is my guess.
Hopefully more than that, but £10m each for 4 years in prison sounds like a fair return. Not really a disincentive at all.They say crime doesn't pay.

Is that all they got, four years? I thought they were not sentenced yet.

It'll be soft sentencing no doubt. They say crime doesn't pay.
I would hope they are deported once out, however they'll all had siphoned the money off and see this soft sentencing as part of the process.
Someone in the pyramid not caught got rich as well.

Can we not send these people "home" or is that racist?
TX.
Home to their fraud funded expensive big houses they have had built and their extensive car collections. I think that was their plan anyway.Can we not send these people "home" or is that racist?
