A FOURTH ROYAL HONOUR FOR APETITO AS IT WINS KING’S AWARDS FOR ENTERPRISE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2024
Free school principal found guilty of fraud
The founder of Bradford Kings Science Academy and two members of staff have been found guilty of defrauding the government out of £150,000.
The school’s founder and principal Sajid Raza, his sister Shabana Hussain, and staff member Daud Khan, payed money received from the Department of Education to set up the school into their own bank accounts.
The three were found guilty at Leeds Crown Court and will be sentenced in September.
Peter Mann from the Crown Prosecution Service said Raza obtained the money by creating false invoices, submitting fraudulent expense claims and paying himself an inflated salary.
"The defendants treated public money as their own, and when challenged, fabricated documents to cover their tracks," he said.
