'The land of easy money': How the Somali woman who lied to claim asylum described Britain | |
2011-01-16 | |
A woman who lied about being gang raped in Somalia to claim more than £250,000 in benefits had moved to Britain after boasting it was the 'land of easy money'. Ayan Abdulle was jailed this week after investigators discovered that the story she used to win asylum -- and later UK citizenship -- was a pack of lies. Now the Daily Mail can reveal the full scale of her fraud and how easily she was able to milk the benefits system for years. Abdulle, who also used the fake name Amina Muse and is from Somalia, was living in Gothenburg when the authorities insisted immigrants learn Swedish if they wanted to continue to claim handouts. She told a friend she couldn't be bothered and moved to England where she knew it would be far easier to collect benefits.
