A man has been jailed for his part in a £3million scam that saw Edinburgh University targeted as part of a sophisticated operation spanning around a decade from 2005 until 2015.

A salesman was jailed on Friday May 24 after committing a £3.3 million scam against a university after colluding with a senior manager at the institution.

Aasim Johar, 53, while acting with Geoff Turnbull, formed a fraudulent scheme to obtain hospitality, vouchers, money and goods at the expense of Edinburgh University.
