Mohammed Chaudhari is accused of spending huge sums of EU cash given to him to set up English classes for migrants in Birmingham
An alleged fraudster bought a Bentley and holidays in Dubai after securing £1.1million from an EU fund for immigrants, a court heard.
Mohammed Chaudhari, 37, used bogus documents to secure grants for schemes promoting 'social, cultural, and economic integration' in the UK, it is claimed.
The money, from the EU Integration Fund, was intended to help immigrants learn English through projects in Birmingham called 'Integrating Communities' and 'Communities Welcome'.
But Chaudhari used it to buy a £55,000 Bentley Continental, holidays to the Middle East, jewellery and luxury goods, jurors were told.
Southwark Crown Court heard Home Office officials tasked with ensuring the money was being used properly 'didn't have the resources to really closely scrutinise every document'.
Chaudhari denies fraud and claims he was set up by colleagues at his Birmingham-based businesses Inspire Futures and Accent on Training, which ran the projects.
His sister Suraiya Alam, 43, and Victoria Sherrey, 66, are also accused of joining the scam between 2010-2015, while Theresa May was Home Secretary.
Prosecutor Edmund Vickers QC said: 'Your speciality is pulling the wool over people's eyes, isn't it Mr Chaudhari?
Your speciality is faking documents. Your speciality is providing documents that look like genuine documents but are false.'
The defendant replied: 'No, Mr Vickers.'
