AN ARCHITECT who embezzled more than £350,000 from a student charity has escaped a jail sentence – and instead been ordered to pay a massive fine. Ian Brash used the embezzled money to buy himself a new Alfa Romeo, two Land Rovers and a wind turbine for use on land he owns in East Lothian. The father-of-two also paid thousands of pounds to fund deposits for properties for his children and spent thousands on large vet bills. Brash, 68, admitted taking £358,832 from the Dr Robert Malcolm Trust (DRMT) between 2010 and 2014 after he was appointed the sole trustee of the charity, which was set up to provide financial assistance to British medical students and doctors.
