A file has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service relating to the former deputy chief executive of a Bradford community organisation 16 months after his arrest on suspicion of fraud.

Zubare Khan, 33, was arrested in January 2012 by detectives investigating alleged financial irregularities at Bradford Trident, which has been awarded £50 million of Government funding in the past decade and is currently waiting to hear if they have secured a £40 million lottery bid for another community programme locally.

Mr Khan was the assistant chief officer of Trident for two years before he resigned on December 9, 2011, weeks before it was revealed that police had started their investigation.

Now it has been confirmed by police that an advice file was passed to the CPS on April 26 and they will decide whether they can successfully charge Mr Khan.

The exact nature of the possible charges is not known, but the alleged fraud is believed to involve tens of thousands of pounds.

Mr Khan worked at the organisation for a decade and had responsibility for all the buildings including the Woodroyd Centre, which has three GP practices and a children’s centre, and the Mayfield Centre which lets offices.

Trident’s chief executive Mick Binns, said: “The only comment for us is that we have done everything we can and given all the information to the police.”

Trident works with the public, private and voluntary sector in areas such as education, housing, jobs, youth and community involvement, crime and the environment.

It is a community-led social enterprise working to “transform the Park Lane, Marshfields and West Bowling areas of Bradford”.

It is also part of a bid for lottery funding, along with the NHS and Bradford Council, to deliver the Fulfilling Lives project in Little Horton, Bradford Moor and Bowling and Barkerend, to help newborns up to three years old and tackling problems relating to infant mortality. A decision on that project will be made by lottery chiefs in April 2014.

Mr Binns added: “We have totally restructured and now have a new management team in place.

“We have moved on very much and as far as we are concerned it has been and gone and we are moving forward.”

The Telegraph & Argus tried to contact Mr Khan for comment but he was unavailable.
