法院审理时听到，一名公职人员“利用”远程办公文化，并使用病假条欺诈性地同时担任五份政府工作。来自东伦敦怀特查佩尔的卡希姆·乔杜里 allegedly 通过谎报其就业状况，以同时获得政府各部门和公共机构的多个全职职位。这名55岁的男子——他否认九项欺诈罪——于2020年2月开始在塔姆莱茨议会工作，随后于2021年4月又在环境、食品和农村事务部（Defra）担任第二份工作，南华克王室法院周二审理时听取了这一情况。
A civil servant "exploited" remote working culture and used sick notes to fraudulently work five Government jobs at the same time, a court has heard. Kashim Chowdhury, from Whitechapel in east London, allegedly lied about his employment status to get various full-time roles across government departments and public bodies simultaneously. The 55-year-old - who denies nine counts of fraud - started working for Tower Hamlets Council in February 2020 before taking a second job with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in April 2021, Southwark Crown Court heard on Tuesday.
检方称，他同时担任这两份工作超过一年。2022年，乔杜里还在东伦敦国家医疗服务体系信托机构担任第三份职务，持续四个月。他离开了议会，但继续为Defra工作，并随后获得了卫生和社会护理部、英国卫生安全局（UKHSA）、商务和贸易部、食品标准局和内政部的进一步工作，检方向法庭如此称述。检方称，乔杜里 allegedly 在2023年5月期间领取了五份全职工作的薪酬。
He did the two jobs simultaneously for over a year, prosecutors said. In 2022, Chowdhury also held a third position with East London NHS Trust for four months. He left the council but continued to work for Defra and secured further jobs with the Department of Health and Social Care, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the Department for Business and Trade, the Food Standards Agency and the Home Office, prosecutors told the court. Chowdhury was allegedly being paid for five full-time jobs in May 2023.
在2020年2月至2023年9月期间，他 allegedly 从八名雇主处共计获得近35万英镑。检察官卢西·奥尔根表示，他在某些职位中使用病假来管理工作量，并“利用”了疫情期间及之后的远程办公。他 allegedly 告诉雇主，他需要在家工作以照顾其“不适”的母亲。然而，乔杜里的工作量最终变得“无法应对”——此时他开始就某些职位请病假，法院审理时听取了这一情况。
Between February 2020 and September 2023, he allegedly earned almost £350,000 from eight employers. Prosecutor Lucy Organ said he used sick leave in certain roles to manage his workload and "exploited" remote working during and after the pandemic. He allegedly told employers that he had to work from home to support his "unwell" mother. However, Chowdhury's workload eventually became "too much to cope with" - at which point he started taking sick leave from certain roles, the court heard.
2023年5月，他的英国卫生安全局经理阿利沙·亚当斯安排了一次视频通话，以处理他的缺勤问题。亚当斯女士声称他在脸上化了妆以显得生病 — — 然后妆容开始在额头处脱落，露出他真实的皮肤，法庭听取了这一说法。奥尔根女士说：“对此没有任何疑问，被告在脸上化了妆，参加这次Teams会议，试图向他的直线经理假装自己身体不适。”
In May 2023, his UKHSA manager Aleesha Adams arranged a video call to address his absences. Ms Adams claimed he was wearing make-up on his face to appear ill - which then started to separate on his forehead and showed his real skin underneath, the court heard. Ms Organ said: "There could be no doubt about it, the defendant had applied make-up to his face for this Teams meeting to try and pretend to his line manager that he was unwell."
她说：“这一几乎可笑的事件表明，我们认为，被告在欺骗方面愿意走多远。”更多来自天空新闻：英国野生动物园中一名男子被老虎杀害，姓名已公布；沃特福德纵火袭击的成年受害者姓名已公布。陈杜里还因使用Defra邮箱地址登录会议而“搞砸”，陪审团被告知。他 allegedly 表示这可能是一个旧地址，但检察官称这是“谎言”。审判仍在继续。
