Controversies
In 2007, Australian Islamic College was raided by 28 fraud squad officers and ten investigators from the Department of Education, Science and Training investigations unit.[1][2]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Abdallah Saad Magar and the Principal Aziz Magdi were charged with fraud offences against the governments of Australia and Western Australia.[1][3] The charges related to falsifying records to indicate that more students were attending the school than actually were and thereby obtaining money for the school to which they were not entitled. The amount that was alleged to have been obtained fraudulently was Template:AUD,[3][4] equivalent to Template:AUD in Template:Inflation/year. Both were found guilty in the District Court on 31 March 2010.[5] Abdallah Saad Magar appealed the conviction to the Supreme Court, however his application was denied.[6]
