520			_aReports on the fight to catch corrupt landlords who are cheating the benefit system out of £2bn a year. Explains how difficult it is to catch these fraudsters if they move to another area of the country or in London, between boroughs. The Benefit Fraud Office is very concerned about government scams and there are parts of its report on Brighton Council in 2000 that are blanked out as the information may be too useful to criminals. Argues that although a criminal conviction in fraud cases is often difficult, more cooperation between different anti-fraud teams using data-matching techniques is becoming more effective against highly organised gangs.
