Former asylum seeker charged with benefit fraud
A former asylum seeker living in a £1.2million house paid for by the taxpayer has been charged with benefit fraud.
Toorpakai Saiedi, 37, a mother of seven originally from Afghanistan, is accused of obtaining thousands of pounds to which she was not entitled.
It is alleged she had an undeclared bank account into which she received a secret income of around £16,000 a year.
