Money sent abroad - Am I safe?

This is related to my previous posts re. a rouge trustee.

This person had instructed the trustees to send money for a school development project to a bank account abroad which he cannot give details of, apart from the account name, account number and branch code. He wouldn't explain how the money would be paid to the contractor. I know we were not clever.

I suspect that this account is used for secret operations or could be part of a money laundering activity.

How can I find out independently? Who or which authorities should I approach (a) in the UK and (b) in the country overseas?

Is this part of a wider project uou are involved with or just a one off ?
In either case I wouldn't send any money until I could be 100% sure it was above board.

If its part of something you are involved in as a eider project is there anybody you can contact independently to find out more info ?

If its a one off ask for the charity number and check it out independently ( don't use links he has sent )
