An
unemployed Paris barman was under arrest today after claiming he fathered 55 African babies so as to allow their mothers to move to France on full benefits.
The scam is said to have cost the country more than a million pounds in fraudulent social security payments.
It involved a 54-year-old Frenchman who cannot be named for legal reasons but who has a Sengalese background.
Extraordinary love life: The 54-year-old man registered the 55 women and their children at his two bedroom flat in a flat near the Gare du Nord Eurostar terminal in Paris
He faces up to 10 years in prison and five figure fines after being charged with making false paternity declarations and aiding and abetting the filing of false administrative documents.

The man’s allegedly extraordinary love life saw him registering the 55 women and their children at his two bedroom flat in a flat near the Gare du Nord Eurostar terminal in Paris.
