FIOD arrests father and son in school fraud | Financial

The father (57) is a director of a foundation of a primary school and also a shareholder of an out-of-school care facility (BSO). His son (29) is director of this BSO.

The primary school, whose survival was already uncertain after a damning report by the education inspectorate, concluded an agreement to lease part of the school to the BSO. In addition, the school had the space on loan from the municipality and there was no permission to rent out the school space to the BSO.

This is reported by the FIOD investigation service on Wednesday in a message about the start of the investigation into school fees fraud.

Damage claim

When the school was forced to close its doors, the BSO filed a hefty claim with the school’s foundation for the termination of the lease. The school foundation then also paid the compensation claim to the BSO.

According to the FIOD, it is suspected that instead of repaying the education fees to the government due to the closure of the school, that money was withdrawn from the school through the lease and compensation claim for the benefit of the two suspects. The FIOD is now investigating this.

During the arrest, the bank accounts of father and son were seized.
