A mother who founded a leading British private school has been charged after overseeing £5million fraud from its accounts.
Yasmin Sarwar, 43, from Cyncoed, opened Cardiff Sixth Form College in 2004 and claims to have 'helped over 800 students' gain admission into some of the UK's most illustrious universities.
According to Mail Online, irregularities were discovered in the school's finances between 2012 and 2016, leading South Wales Police to launch an official investigation.
Now the probe by police and the Charity Commission for England and Wales has seen Sarwar and two others charged with theft and fraud offences totalling £5million.
Nadeem Sarwar, 48, from Pentwyn, Cardiff, and Ragu Sivapalan, 39, from Penylan, Cardiff were also charged.
The headteacher, who previously branded herself as the 'tiger mum', is due in Cardiff Magistrates Court after the Crown Prosecution Service authorised theft and fraud charges.
Police said: 'Following an investigation by South Wales Police, with vital evidence provided by the Charity Commission for England & Wales, three people have been charged in connection with a multi-million pounds fraud and theft investigation into the former independent Cardiff Sixth Form College which happened between 2012 and 2016.
'Yasmin Anjum Sarwar, 43, from Cyncoed, Cardiff and Nadeem Sarwar, 48, from Pentwyn, Cardiff have been charged with multiple theft and fraud offences totalling some £5 million.
'Ragu Sivapalan, 39, from Penylan, Cardiff has been charged with false accounting between 2013 and 2016.'
