Overview
- Police arrested the 36-year-old in Bonnyrigg around 6am Thursday as the 15th person charged under Strike Force Myddleton targeting a Sydney loan-fraud syndicate.
- He was charged with 19 offences, including nine alleged fraud counts, dealing with proceeds of crime, participating in a criminal group, and possessing anabolic steroids.
- Investigators allege he exploited his NAB position to help obtain about $10 million in fraudulent business loans.
- The probe has widened from luxury "ghost car" applications using stolen identities to large-scale personal, business and home loan fraud across multiple institutions.
- NAB says it has sacked the employee and found no customer impact, while authorities report about $60 million in assets restrained, roughly $60,000 in jewellery seized, and the accused refused bail ahead of a Fairfield Local Court appearance on Friday.
