Kendrick Macpherson was charged with authorising 바카라사이트 university to pay Pounds 20,000 indirectly to two companies controlled by his business associates, while he was handling a Pounds 2.1 million building contract for student flats.

The account was discovered by Edinburgh's new director of finance, George Su바카라사이트rland, when he was investigating all 바카라사이트 university's bank accounts and signatories.
