Poor from the council, they obviously had poor auditing procedures!
That’s about £59k per year. So he was basically drawing a second salary.
> The court heard he was still in debt at the time of his arrest.
Takes some doing
Least corrupt council worker in the northeast
Love the “it’s his first offence” after doing it for SEVENTEEN FUCKING YEARS.
Fucking arsehole
makes me wonder how many people do this sort of thing and stop before they get caught out
*”The council’s financial controls and processes – including council tax refund arrangements – have been reviewed and strengthened.”*
After **17** **years**. Fuck me.
The lack of financial controls is on par with the Water Industry Commission for Scotland (WICS). Yet another government body where oversight and competence has been non-existent.
