Illegal immigrant is jailed for leading gang of Nigerian fraudsters who pretended to be MPs, police and even judges in £10million benefits scam

The Daily Mail reports:
An illegal immigrant who headed a gang which used the identities of MPs, judges and police officers to con the taxpayer out of millions of pounds was jailed for more than five years.

Kayode Sanni, 38, received a jail term of five years and three months for his part in the elaborate scam.

Fraudsters stole personal details from the Civil Service Sports Council (CSSC), which provides sport and fitness facilities to more than 120,000 public sector employees and pensioners.

Member lists were 'stolen to order' from CSSC and used to place orders for tax credit starter packs used in fraudulent claims over a four year period.
