DVD copiers were benefit thieves on the side

A father and his two sons who used dozens of Chinese "slaves" to pull off Britain's biggest DVD piracy scam have been jailed for up to six years each. While claiming benefits, they made up to £7m in an operation using "largely illegal Chinese immigrants", some of whom are thought to have been smuggled into the UK.

Despite the millions they were making, the Skeikhs were enjoying cash housing benefit handouts.

Sheikh senior was also on incapacity benefit while regularly jetting off abroad on holidays and to meet business contacts.
