A whistleblower claimed that foreign offenders including rapists and murderers are being paid thousands of pounds after being deported from the UK.
The Department for Work and Pensions has reportedly paid millions of pounds in benefits that they owe to foreigners who have since left the UK in the past two years.
The source said: “They include convicted criminals. This is a disgrace and it’s about time the public are told where their money is going.”
But the department admitted it doesn't know how much in arrears have been sent abroad amid claims that some individuals have received tens of thousands of pounds.
It is feared that hate preacher Abu Qatada could be among those receiving the payments.
He was reported from the UK two years ago but his family had been receiving benefits of around £800 a week before being kicked out. Express.
