Three individuals have been accused of involvement in a £5 million scam at a prominent sixth-form college in Wales.

The South Wales Police has accused two men and one woman of alleged financial discrepancies at Cardiff Sixth Form College during the period from 2012 to 2016.

Yasmin Anjum Sarwar, aged 43, from Cyncoed, Cardiff, along with Nadeem Sarwar, who is 48 years old and hails from Pentwyn, Cardiff, face multiple charges related to theft and fraud.

Ragu Sivapalan, aged 39, from Penylan, Cardiff, has faced charges of false accounting spanning from 2013 to 2016.

The trio is scheduled to appear before the Cardiff magistrates on April 8th.

The institution located on Newport Road is a private college catering to students aged 16 to 18, where they consistently achieve some of the nation’s top A-Level scores year after year.

In 2016, it was featured in the documentary “Britain’s Brainiest School.”

Since the alleged fraud, the college has undergone a change in ownership, and the charitable organization overseeing it is now known as the Cardiff Educational Endowment Trust.
