Fiona McEvoy, from the Taxpayers Alliance, said: “It’s completely despicable that these two charlatans have swindled taxpayers out of thousands of pounds.
“Even though the money is due to be returned, repayment is sure to be on their terms and will incur all sorts of administration costs payable from the public purse. That’s on top of what it’s already cost to investigate this crime.
“In this case the offenders were caught out, but there’s little doubt that hard-working taxpayers are being hit for millions upon millions of pounds by such thieves.”
