A Bulgarian woman who was jailed for a £54million benefit scam is now living freely in the UK on Universal Credit, according to reports. Tsvetka Todorova, 54, was one of five Bulgarians to spend tens of millions of pounds on luxury cars and designer clothes after making fraudulent claims.
She was imprisoned for three years in May 2024, but was released in late 2025 after serving half of her sentence. Todorova was ordered to pay back £101,201.78 at a confiscation hearing in January, but has so far only handed over £18,228.14, The Sun reports.
She has since told reporters that she has been living in the UK on benefits since December, thanks to her husband receiving over £1,000 a month in Universal Credit, a payment designed to help with living costs for those on low income or out of work.
