Episode 9
An accountant funds a lavish lifestyle by cheating both private clients and the NHS out of more than 拢1.3 million. Plus a benefits cheat who faked a disability to claim 拢71,000.
An accountant takes on three different full-time jobs with the NHS 鈥� and manages to get paid for all of them, even though he鈥檚 barely carrying out the work of one. Each is well paid in its own right, and he hasn鈥檛 declared that he鈥檚 working three at the same time. In fact, he鈥檚 barely working one, as he鈥檚 using the money to fund a luxury lifestyle of London hotels and extravagant days out. Investigators also discover the accountant has been taking on private clients and draining their bank accounts into his own. He鈥檚 even accused of romance fraud.
In another case, undercover work exposes a benefit cheat鈥檚 lies. A woman has been claiming disability living allowance because she says she has multiple sclerosis. But after a tip-off, investigators from the Department for Work and Pensions launch a surveillance operation. She鈥檚 seen walking normally with no apparent disability. And her social media account shows a video of her on a zip wire. Investigators call her in for questioning.
