Two brothers are on trial in Perth accused of stealing more than $350,000 in Government grants that was meant to have been spent on a Muslim school.
Anwar and Zubair Sayed are accused of taking the money in 2007 while they were directors of a company that ran the Muslim Ladies College in the Perth suburb of Kenwick.
The District Court has been told the company was receiving grants from both the Federal and State Governments, but the school was in a dilapidated condition with leaking roofs and a shortage of teachers and text books.
The court heard the money was instead transferred to an account in Pakistan and a copy of a cheque butt seized by investigators suggested it was to be used to set up a school in Afghanistan in contravention of the conditions of the Government grants.
Both men have denied any wrongdoing.
The trial is set down for eight days.
