The bank accounts of 30 registered charities were frozen yesterday as the investigation into allegedly fraudulent lottery payments of more than �1m spread out across the charitable sector.
Many of the suspect applications are thought to have been made in the name of those aiding African refugees in this country.
As well as the Community Fund - one of the grant-awarding bodies of the National Lottery until June this year - other prominent funding organisations, such as BBC Children in Need, Barnado's and Comic Relief, are thought to have been approached. "
