Jailed: Ruth Nabuguzi was the ringleader of a ‘family firm’ that carried out a £4million benefits scam
A judge accused a family of African fraudsters of an ‘outrageous abuse of the hospitality’ shown to them by Britain as they were jailed yesterday for stealing £4million from taxpayers.
The 20-year scam included one of the fraud ringleaders creating fake identities for up to 100 children to milk the benefits system.
Ruth Nagubuzi also claimed to have HIV and Aids in order to receive costly drugs which she then sent back to Uganda for huge profits.
It was estimated that supplying the medicines to the 49-year-old, as well as four other made-up ‘sufferers’, cost the taxpayer more than £2million.
A further £154,000 went on education for members of the ‘family’, with £37,500 for a single higher education course.
Fraud relating to accommodation costs and sub-letting of flats by Nagubuzi cost £650,000, and the family’s benefits including child allowances, disability benefits, and council tax and tax credits totalled £900,000.
The gang’s gains were spent on a complex consisting of luxury apartments, shops, restaurants and a hotel in Nagubuzi’s home city of Kampala, the Ugandan capital. Plans for building new properties were found when police raided the gang’s homes across East London.
If we were more careful about the type of immigrants we let into Britain in the first place, we would not have this problem. I can’t believe that people come here and get thousands in benefits whilst the rest of us taxpayers in low paid jobs struggle to make ends meet. Time to close the floodgates and stop benefit payments to immigrants until they have paid taxes here for at least 7 years. I can’t believe the cheek of these people.
It is not just Britain, all western nations need to regain control of their borders, the left has spent decades in destroying our immigration laws and systems, we must regain control of them.
Dear dear, who would think some little brown Imperialist repressed victims could out fox the fish belly white faced leftards of Britanistan. Don’t they have a right to a family life?
The word “parasite” comes to mind.
