Judges Chapter 1:

(Sorry: Magistrates, Court 1)

Yosef Yitzchok (Ed: possibly the ABC got this wrong, and it might be spelled “Yitzchak”) Engel and his wife Chana Engel are accused of falsifying accounts to create a Jewish school, which received $50,000 in student grants.

Both are charged with 39 counts of dishonesty.

Adelaide Magistrates Court was told prosecutors may drop the charges, but no explanation was given.

Another hearing has been scheduled for June.

The Anti-theist-daily has heard from its un-named source that the allegations relate to $50,000 in grants they received for providing religious studies to students at a school which prosecutors say did not exist. Apparently, in court today, Magistrate Alf Grasso adjourned the case until June 22 to allow for further negotiations.
