Civil servant accused of 183-hour work week, £350k from five jobs
Prosecutors told Southwark Crown Court that Kashim Chowdhury, 55, from Whitechapel, east London, was contracted for 183 hours a week, more than a week contains. They say he hid the overlapping jobs by working from home, taking sick leave and once wearing white make-up on a video call to look ill. He denies nine counts of fraud, and the trial continues.
