A school’s senior official who had siphoned more than MVR 50،000 under the name of an employee، has been filed at Prosecutor General’s office.
Anti Corruption Commission had filed the corruption and fraud charges against Laamu Atoll Gan’s pre-school in charge Ahmed Faheem، Fothiveli، Thundi، L. Gan. His case has been filed at PG office by ACC.
Faheem has been charged with fraud and money-laundering as he had extracted MVR 7520 per month from the school’s salary expenditure during his tenure as the pre-school’s head.
The incentive subjected to all trained teachers working at the pre-school is funded through Laamu Atoll’s council every month.
Faheem had siphoned out a total of MVR 52،640 under this manner.
Ahmed Faheem had taken salary of MVR 7520 per month under a female pre-school teacher who had been absent from duty since taking a maternal leave back in 2012، to deliver. She had not joined back since then، and records confirm she had not received any remuneration afterwards.
However since June 2012 till December of the same، the trained teachers list working at Gan school had included the teacher’s name as well. Faheem had signed under her name during this period.
However when inquired about the money، no proper documentations of the salary deposition or transaction was found. Faheem had not been cooperative with ACC during their investigations as well.
ACC claims Faheem had used his position for illicit influence and fraudulent activities، while ACC had requested PG office to take the mentioned amount back from Faheem.
