One of Britain's most prolific fare dodgers faces jail over 112 unpaid train tickets

A man described as one of Britain's most prolific train fare dodgers is facing prison after admitting to 112 convictions for failing to pay for tickets. Charles Brohiri, 29, pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court to evading more than 3,000 in fares on Govia Thameslink services over a period spanning nearly two years, concluding last November. Dressed in all black, Mr Brohiri entered dozens of guilty pleas, repeating the word "guilty" in a soft, low voice as each charge was read out by the court legal adviser. The process reportedly took around 20 minutes.
