Suspended sentence for £9k benefit fraud

Michael Payet, from Oakham, appeared at Leicester Crown Court on Wednesday last week.

His offences involved more than £9,000 in total for dishonestly making fraudulent claims for housing and council tax benefit between 2001 and 2007. They came to light following information that Payet was working and claiming benefits.

At the court hearing Payet was sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for six months. So no real punishment now then.
