'Gang-rape' asylum seeker jailed for £250,000 benefits fraud

[harrybarracuda]

Don't these fucking idiots even check before they hand over wads of cash to these scroungers?

And how much more are they going to spend keeping her in jail?

Send the fucking bitch back to Somalia - even if she doesn't come from there.

An asylum seeker who claimed she had been gang-raped in Somalia was jailed today for swindling more than £250,000 in a "professionally planned" benefit scam.

Amina Muse, 38, also conned Swedish authorities out of £50,000, spending the money on luxury living and holidays in Africa.

While she claimed asylum in the UK based on "appalling atrocities" committed against her in Somalia, investigators found she was living in Sweden at the time.

Handing her a four-and-a-half-year prison term at Harrow Crown Court, in north London, Judge Stephen Holt told her: "One of the most serious aspects of this case is your cynical, dishonest manipulation of the whole system of asylum."

Muse, a mother of six, who also went by the name of Ayan Abdulle, sought refuge in Britain after moving to Sweden in 1995 where she was granted citizenship and enjoyed a "comfortable" life.

On her UK asylum application, disclosed today, she claimed militiamen stormed and looted her family home in war-torn Somalia on December 1 1998 because she was a member of a minority group.

"They opened fire at us and then broke into our house by force," she said. "They shot dead my brothers Asad and Burhan. They died instantly in our presence."

But investigators, who suspect the Muse to be of Kenyan descent, found this to be the date on which she gave birth to a child in Sweden.

Between June 2004 and May 2010, Muse, from North Circular Road, Neasden, north-west London, claimed a total of £261,358.14 in income support, disability living allowance for one of her children and carer's allowance for herself. This included child benefit, child tax credits and housing benefit from various local authorities.

She received a total of £112,985.51 from the borough of Camden where she lived in a four-bedroom property.

Condemning her deceit, Judge Holt said: "In my view it was fraud from the outset. It was professionally planned."

He added: "In 1995 you and your family, as it then was, arrived in Sweden in the name of Abdulle and you were given Swedish passports and your children were given Swedish passports.

"You had, as I understand it, two more children in Sweden and one in Denmark and you decided in June 2003 to come to this country and you entered this country under the name of Amina Muse which the jury found, and I'm quite satisfied, was entirely false.

"You applied for asylum in this country and in your long statement for asylum, you set out appalling atrocities that had happened to yourself and your immediate family, including murder and rape of some of your nearest and dearest during the time when you were living comfort in Sweden at the expense of the Swedish taxpayer. That document was entirely false."

Muse denied obtaining money transfers by deception, fraud by false representation, 12 counts of making false representations, four counts of receiving overpayments of benefits and five counts of fraud.

the only fraud she committed was on her entry
after that, she just got what all immigrants get , top of the queue for nice social housing etc
she was getting £44 ,000 ,a year tax free
that's normal for immigrants with big families on welfare
was living in a 4 bedroom house in Camden london,a really expensive part of Britain
many people who work there have to commute in from far away , because they cannot afford the rent /house prices.
Hang your heads in shame anyone who voted for the Labour party -3 times in a row they were elected -they ruined london and Britain.
