The first migrant to be convicted of illegally working for Deliveroo has been fined just two hours' worth of pay.
Abdullah Merez, 23, admitted that he had been illicitly delivering food for the company after being caught in Woking, Surrey, on May 2 this year.
However, the 23-year-old was given a conditional discharge by Justices of the Peace after they heard that he was in debt and that the offence was his first, according to The Sun.
Merez was then ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £26, which equates to roughly two hours worth of pay for a Deliveroo driver, and will be back in court if the money is not received by September 2.
The newspaper also reported that it was undisclosed whether Merez was in Britain illegally or on a visa that did not allow him to receive paid work, such as a tourist or volunteer visa.
