The Government has consistently stated that fraud is totally unacceptable. We are taking action on multiple fronts to recover money lost to error and fraud and, where necessary, taking legal action on those who have sought to exploit our schemes.

Where individuals are subject to prosecution as a result of fraudulently accessing the COVID-19 support schemes, the verdicts and sentencing in criminal cases are a matter of public record.

It would not be appropriate to comment on ongoing investigations.
