Sentence for £6k benefit fraud

A former Guildford resident has been sentenced after fraudulently claiming £6,646 in housing and council tax benefit from Guildford Borough Council.

Attilio Magni, previously of West Horsley, had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to providing a false rental value which inflated the amount of benefit that he received. Mr Magni was given a 200 hour community service order. The Council will pursue repayment of the overpaid housing and council tax benefit.
