Woman who lied she was single mom to get state handouts worth $25k caught when online posts showed she lived with boyfriend
The judge told Ratecka she "knew what she was doing", owing to her job in the benefits department of Cardiff Council
A new report says that a mother, who pretended to be single, fiddled more than £20,000 in handouts while working in her local council's benefits department. Edyta Ratecka, who hails from Birchgrove, Cardiff, reportedly lied about being a single mother, and her lie was caught through Facebook pictures, which showed she lived with her boyfriend.
According to reports, Ratecka, who is Polish, claimed benefits while living with boyfriend Daniel Thomas and her daughter, and later she gave birth to her own twins with him. There were a lot of social media pictures that showed the family celebrating holidays and Christmas together.
