The Specialist Fraud Division of the Crown Prosecution Service is currently prosecuting four individuals in one case, arising out of the BBC’s Panorama investigation broadcast on 10 February 2014. That investigation highlighted alleged irregularities in the administration of English language examinations at two educational establishments (not universities) operating under the names Bright Consultant Services Ltd (London) and Universal Training Centre (Watford). The matter is sub judice to secure a fair trial.
