Indian student Rajesh Kumar jailed for Curtin University English test bribes
"AN Indian student has been jailed for 14 months for his part in a bribery scheme at Perth's Curtin University.
The scheme falsified official English test scores used for granting Australian permanent residency and visas.
Rajesh Kumar was sentenced in the West Australian District Court on Monday, after pleading guilty to 10 counts of bribery between November 2009 and June 2010.
Nine other people have been convicted and sentenced in relation to the bribery scheme, after the state's Corruption and Crime Commission charged 12 people with a total of 73 offences.
The court heard that Kumar became an intermediary in the scheme, personally receiving between $32,000 and $44,000 for his part, after initially paying to have his own International English Testing System (IELTS) results falsified by Kok Keith Low, a Curtin University English Language Centre employee."
