good evening from the grumps
when you read this the word unbelieveable or incredible comes to to mind
when lying labour threw open the doors to all the eu dross this is what you are left with.
A GANG of Romanian gypsies jetted into Britain to plunder £800,000 in UK benefits - then flew back to spend the money at home.
The crooks used forged residency documents and job references to claim huge handouts Eight were jailed yesterday including ringleader Telus Dumitru, 36, and Claudia Radu, 35 - nicked at Stansted Airport, Essex.
The gangsters from Romania made regular budget airline flights to pocket huge benefit handouts here They returned to splash the cash in their home town of Tandarei - transformed from a dusty dump to a prosperous community full of posh new houses, BMWs and Land Rovers.
The fraudsters grabbed more than £800,000 in a sophisticated scam described by a judge as a "flagrant" attack on our benefits system.
They used forged Home Office residency documents and fake job references to obtain National Insurance numbers, which they then used to claim tax credits, income support, child benefits and housing handouts.
Under rules drawn up when Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007, people from those countries can claim if they are self-employed with NI numbers or have worked here for a year.
The mob boosted their haul by claiming they had children, producing bogus birth certificates and photos. But the kids either did not exist or were suspected trafficking victims.
Eight members of the gang - mostly related and from the Roma gypsy community - were jailed yesterday, along with a British builder who supplied the forged job references Some lived in Britain while others made flying visits using low-cost airline Wizz Air
They were trapped in a joint operation between the Metropolitan Police and Romanian cops.
Regular tripper Radu was stopped at London's third airport Stansted.
She and her husband had £1,800 and £11,400-worth of euros in cash, plus Post Office receipts for paid-in benefits cheques. Such deposits can be transferred abroad later by wire.
Southwark Crown Court heard Radu's brother-in-law Adrian received £29,000 in benefits "while still living in Romania".
Ringleader Dumitru - who was put under surveillance - was jailed for four years eight months by Judge Gregory Stone after he admitted plotting to defraud.
His 33-year-old wife Ramona, who lived with him in Nottingham, got two years after claiming she had six kids to illegally receive £81,000 in benefits Others admitted various counts of theft, fraud or laundering.
Claudia Radu, Ramona's sister, got six months, as did their father Ion Stoica, 56. And Adrian Radu got 12 months.
Dorina Dumitru, 38, was jailed for one year eight months; Marian Gheorghe, 34, got two years four months and Ion Lincan, 35, four weeks. Liverpool builder Abdel Lemsatef, 66, got nine months for providing references.
In booming Tandarei, ex-mayor Vasile Sava said: "How can I know where they get the money from? Nobody is telling us."
