Fraudster Who Stole £50,000 From Benefits

Despite defrauding £50,000 worth of benefits, a fraudster secured employment processing Universal Credit claims.

Chido Vincent was employed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in 2014, despite serving an 18-month jail sentence for exceeding his immigration limits and forging a letter to apply for benefits.

For reasons unconnected to his conviction, the 57-year-old Nigerian was fired from his position at the DWP in Leeds.

Speaking about how he obtained employment processing, he stated that because his conviction occurred more than five years ago, he was exempt from having to reveal it.

‘During the recruitment process, I was asked everything and I answered honestly,’ he told The Sun.

‘They asked for my passport, right-to-work documents—I gave them everything.

‘They said they needed to do a DBS. I gave them all the information and it came back fine, so I got the job.’

He went on to tell the publication that he ‘did what was asked of me’ and that there was no need to declare a conviction.

He also said what happened to him was 10 years ago so ‘it was considered spent’.

This comes after it was revealed that a judge said an Albanian driving test fraudster can’t be jailed because ‘His Majesty’s prisons are full to bursting’.

Speaking at Lincoln Crown Court, Judge James House KC said Albanian national Elidjan Aliaj, 30, should be put behind bars for paying an impersonator to take his driving test.

Instead, Aliaj has been sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.

The judge told Aliaj he ‘deserved to go to jail’ but his hands were tied ‘because His Majesty’s prisons are currently full to bursting’.

The Department for Work and Pensions has been contacted by MailOnline.

Why wasn’t this man deported after serving time in jail in 2014 for exceeding the duration of his visa? Who gave him a work visa and why is he still here? And on top of that, he managed to secure himself a government job that deals with benefits. It beggars belief. This seems to be a deliberate programme of transferring wealth from the old population to the new replacement population, and now it looks like visas and passports are being handed out like Christmas cards.

No wonder immigrants are flocking here.

Prisons are bursting and they are full up, and now criminals are being let out of prison because there is simply no room at the inn. The easiest option is to charter planes, load them up with however many criminals and drop them off. Oh, I forgot, human rights issues!

Then look at the convoluted way the DWP advertises for vacant positions. It’s only when you start looking that you will uncover who their prospective employers might be.

This is another triumph for diversity and equality because it’s more important to tick a box than employ the best person. So, how many others with questionable backgrounds are working for the DWP and involved with benefit claims?

A convicted swindler working at the DWP. You just couldn’t make this up!

These days, it appears that individuals in our nation hire people in particular occupations based on factors like skin colour, etc. Not because they’re the most qualified candidates, and trust me when I say that if they continue to hire individuals just like themselves until they fill every post, we’re going to have problems!

This is all ridiculous; can you imagine the NHS making a similar announcement: ‘We can’t accept any more patients because the hospitals are full.’ No doubt, at some point, this will happen.
