A civil servant who secretly held multiple public sector jobs on full-time salaries has been found guilty of nine counts of fraud.

Kashim Chowdhury, from east London, had five government jobs that overlapped in the spring of 2023. He fraudulently earned more than £284,000 of taxpayers' money.

The prosecution accused the 56-year-old of ''deliberate, intentional dishonesty'' and of ''exploiting the system''.
