A TAXI driver convicted of benefit fraud has been stripped of his taxi licence.
Khalil Kirollos, 55, from Hangleton, Hove, was given a suspended sentence in March over benefit fraud totalling more than £15,000.
Adur district councillors revoked his Adur Private Hire and Taxi Licence and now magistrates have upheld their decision.
A spokesman for Adur district council said magistrates thought “drivers must have a high standard of integrity” given the need to “protect the public”.
Brighton and Hove City Council prosecuted him for the benefit fraud.
