## Summary

Kashim Chowdhury, 56, has been found guilty of nine fraud counts after holding several government jobs at once and receiving more than £280,000 in payments. The case raises questions about how he was able to evade workplace checks while exploiting remote working arrangements.

Chowdhury lived in a six-bedroom Georgian townhouse in east London, reportedly worth about £2 million, while working for public bodies including Tower Hamlets Council and Defra. At the peak, he was paid for five full-time roles and contracted for 183 hours a week; he was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced in January. Separately, his siblings are challenging the transfer of half the house to him shortly before their mother died in 2023.
