A doctor who worked shifts as a locum at one hospital while on paid sick leave from another cost the NHS £250,000.
Gynaecologist Dr Anthony Madu, 45, could be struck off after he pocketed huge sums in well-paid locum work at the same time as he was receiving sick pay.
The Nigerian - who pocketed a total of £100,000 as a result of the scam - had insisted he was the victim of a racist conspiracy when NHS bosses suspended him over his conduct.
But he was branded ‘dishonest and irresponsible’ in court as he was found guilty of fraud.
He is understood to have cost the NHS a total of £240,000 in salary and cover for his absence as he worked at hospitals across England while still officially employed by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.
