A maths teacher has admitted holding her husband’s drug money in her bank account.
Fatimah Ahmed, 30, pleaded guilty to concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing criminal property, after £7,000 was discovered in her bank account.
She was given a suspended prison sentence after drug-dealing charges against her were dropped.
Ahmed, 30, of Cedar Road, Woodsmoor, Stockport, was suspended from Poynton High School in Cheshire when the allegations first emerged. She later resigned.
Her husband Mohazzam Ali, 36, of the same address, admitted a series of drug-dealing and possession charges in February last year and is facing a possible jail sentence.
A court heard he was ‘the drugs person’ and she was the ‘money person’. Both were arrested in 2011 after police raided their home. They were not married at the time.
The house smelled ‘strongly’ of cannabis and plastic snap-bags, digital scales and grinders were found in bedrooms and the living room, alongside £600 in cash, Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court was told.
Saul Brody, prosecuting, said a ‘variety of controlled drugs’ were found, including cannabis, cocaine and ‘ecstasy-type substances’.
Ahmed, who has a child with her husband, was initially charged with six counts – two of possessing drugs with intent to supply, three of possessing drugs and a single count of concealing criminal property. She initially denied all six counts, but changed her plea on the day of trial.
Ahmed pleaded guilty to concealing criminal property, namely the £7,000 in her bank account, on the basis that she suspected rather than knew that it was from the proceeds of crime.
The Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence on the remaining five counts and not guilty pleas were recorded by judge Bernard Lever.
Ahmed was jailed for 18 weeks, suspended for two years.
The court allowed the CPS 28 days to provide a statement of her means for any possible hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Ali pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing drugs with intent to supply and three counts of possession and is due to be sentenced.
Speaking after the case, Poynton High School head David Waugh said: “Her conduct has brought disgrace on herself and besmirched the good reputation and high integrity of the teaching profession.”
