A former director and trustee of Cardiff Sixth Form College has admitted to stealing £5 million from the institution. Nadeem Sarwar, 50, pleaded guilty to theft during proceedings at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Tuesday. The theft occurred between February 19, 2008, and October 31, 2016, involving funds belonging to the college.
Additionally, a second defendant, Ragu Sivapalan, 41, also entered a guilty plea. Sivapalan admitted to causing an auditor’s report concerning the college’s annual accounts to be misleading, false or deceptive in a material manner.
Both defendants, residing in the Cardiff area—Sarwar in Wellwood, Pentwyn, and Sivapalan in Doe Close, Penylan—are set to be sentenced at a later date.
