Masood Zakaria’s wife, Azza, had five years of prior self-employment experience as a childcare center director.
She provided testimonials from “employers” and claimed that her responsibilities included supervising staff training, planning extracurricular events, and creating lesson plans.
Azza had registered for a childcare training course, but had later dropped out and had no certificates to her name, according to Police investigations.
In 2019, Masood and Azza paid $1.5 million for the opulent Greystanes House after submitting an application for financing covering 75% of the asking price.
Masood Zakaria allegedly told his wife, Azza, to fabricate several menus about her annual income and career background to get a loan to buy the House.
In 2020, Azza received a $1.125 million loan for the House, but the broker must know that practically all of the paperwork was false.
At Parramatta Local Court, Azza entered a plea of guilty to one count of dishonestly obtaining advantage by fraud.
According to DailyMail, for her involvement in the plan, Azza was given a 12-month community corrections term that must be completed by April 2023.
