The Crown Prosecution Service
A former civil servant has been convicted of fraud for obtaining and holding multiple full-time Government jobs at the same time.
Kashim Chowdhury, 56, lied about his existing employment status and history on applications and was paid for multiple jobs in the civil service and associated public bodies over three years.
Between 2020 and 2023, Chowdhury repeatedly applied for positions within government departments and public bodies while concealing that he already had existing full-time employment.
The job applications he made included declarations that he had provided complete and true information, and he understood that knowingly making a false statement for this purpose was a criminal offence.
