2362...Life Advice From The WFDS

Rule one: When pretending to have cerebral palsy to fraudulently claim benefits do not enter any table tennis contests.

The Local, Sweden's english newspapers, tells the sad tale of an Iraqi immigrant to Sweden who, with a team, defrauded the Försäkringskassan of millions of kronor. That is a lot of money by the way, like a lot. He was found out in April after secret police cameras recorded him living an active life, making phone calls and participating in a table tennis tournament, despite claiming to be confined to a wheelchair.

The man was found guilty of aggravated fraud and aggravated subsidy crime by Halmstad district court in southwestern Sweden.

After serving his sentence, the man, an Iraqi citizen, will be deported to his homeland. He must also pay 4.7 million kronor ($640,000) in compensation to the agency, The Local reported.

Word of advice to Sweden: get the money and then deport him.
