A shocking scandal has emerged at Ashfield Boys High School in Belfast, where the school captain stands accused of orchestrating a fraudulent scheme targeting his own classmates.
According to reports, the student allegedly convinced several peers to hand over money under false pretences, leaving families outraged and school officials scrambling to address the situation.
Details of the Alleged Scam
The scheme reportedly involved promises of exclusive access to school events or academic advantages in exchange for cash payments. Many students only realised they'd been deceived when the promised benefits failed to materialise.
School's Response
School administrators have confirmed they're cooperating fully with authorities while conducting their own internal investigation. 'We take such matters extremely seriously,' a school spokesperson stated.
Community Reaction
The allegations have sent shockwaves through the local community, with many parents questioning how such behaviour could occur under the school's supervision. Some are calling for tighter oversight of student leadership positions.
Police have confirmed they're investigating the matter but declined to comment further as inquiries continue.
