(National-UAE) A leading Islamic school in Sweden accused of appointing teachers who had recently returned from fighting for ISIS abroad has been shut down amid fears students were at risk of being radicalised.
Abdel Nasser El Nadi, former principal of Vetenskapsskolan school in Gothenburg, was allegedly involved in transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to bank accounts abroad.
El Nadi was arrested in May by Swedish police along with four other clerics who were considered security threats.
A new administration took over and changed its name to the Sapphire School but officials said problems persisted.
El Nadi was born in Egypt but has lived in Sweden since 1992 and has twice had Swedish citizenship applications turned down.
