The law finally caught up with Norman Brennan from Merseyside this week, when he was jailed for three years for benefits fraud, reports Sky News.
In 2008 Brennan had admitted defrauding the public purse to the tune of around £120,000. Prior to sentencing he was granted bail but he subsequently left the country and moved to Spain.
Sky News reporters tracked Brennan down in Malaga in October this year, and shortly afterwards he was detained under a European Arrest Warrant and successfully extradited back to the UK.
Brennan's fraudulent claims were made between March 2001 and February 2008, and involved Jobseekers Allowance, housing benefit and council tax fraud.
In 2008 Brennan had admitted to seven separate counts of benefit fraud. He has now been sentenced to two and a half years for those offences, plus an additional six months for breaching bail conditions.
