Four reported to fiscal in Adam Smith College fraud probe

The fraud investigation into the former Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy has resulted in four people being reported to the procurator fiscal.

The move comes just a fortnight after police made arrests following a year-long investigation on campus at the former college, which is now Fife College.

One man and three women are now the subject of reports to the procurator fiscal, it has been confirmed.

The developments are the latest stage in a major investigation sparked by separate probes by the Scottish Government and KPMG into the running of the college which resulted in it paying back £5.5 million in European funding.

They were called in after claims that a bullying culture had been allowed to exist on campus.

News of the latest developments were confirmed by the Crown office.

A spokesman said: “The procurator fiscal has received a report concerning a 50-year-old male and three females aged 44, 49 and 58 in connection with alleged incidents occurring between July 29, 2008, and September 14, 2012.”
