BBC reported that a civil servant from east London was found guilty of fraud for secretly holding five full-time public sector jobs simultaneously.
The man held these overlapping government positions during the spring of 2023 and fraudulently earned more than £284,000 of taxpayers' money.
At Southwark Crown Court, a jury convicted him on nine counts of fraud, including making false representations and obtaining dishonest gains.
The prosecution described his actions as deliberate and intentional dishonesty, accusing him of exploiting the public sector system.
