Fraudster job-juggling civil servant faces jail as world ‘collapses around him’

A civil servant is facing an immediate jail term after he was convicted of fraud by using remote working and sick notes to juggle up to five full-time Government jobs at the same time.

Kashim Chowdhury, 56, lied about his employment status to get a string of overlapping roles across Government departments and public bodies, Southwark Crown Court heard previously.

Between February 2020 and September 2023, Chowdhury, from Whitechapel, east London, earned almost £350,000 from eight employers, the court heard.
