Conservative fraudster arrested for electoral offences

A Conservative council candidate in London has been arrested for suspected electoral offences.

Michael Fadaka has a conviction for a £30k benefit fraud which was brought against him by Enfield Council - the same council he is standing for election to. Fadaka failed to mention the 12 month suspended sentence he was given in 2011 for the offence which means he is unable to stand for election anywhere in England and Wales until 2016.

It is too late to remove Fadaka's name from the ballot paper.
