Man who racked up debts 'running Manchester care home' stole more than £430k from Eat Out to Help Out scheme
A former town councillor in Bradford has been jailed after making fraudulent claims of more than £430,000 through the Government’s Eat Out to Help out scheme.
The other six businesses were either “entirely fictitious” or legitimate companies he had no connection with, prosecutor Timothy Jacobs said. The Eat Out to Help Out initiative allowed restaurants, cafes, pubs and other food outlets to offer customers a 50% discount, up to £10, and obtain a reimbursement from HMRC for the same amount.
Mr Jacobs said five of the claims related to Khan’s Cafe, which Ikram had been associated with up until March 2020, “but his involvement had ceased by the time the claims were made”. He told the court Ikram was “a man of good character who has contributed much to the community in a very positive way” and the offending was “an aberration”.
Simon York, director, fraud investigation service, HMRC, said: “This was a blatant fraud by somebody who held a position of trust and responsibility.
