A 56-year-old civil servant from east London has been convicted of fraud after secretly holding several full-time government posts at the same time. Kashim Chowdhury pocketed more than £284,000, at one point being contracted for 183 hours a week across five departments. Working from home, he told bosses he was caring for his mother. A Southwark Crown Court jury found him guilty of nine counts.
