Overview
- NSW Police arrested 53-year-old Anya Phan and a 25-year-old at a Dover Heights home, alleging Phan recruited members of Sydney’s Vietnamese community to take out loans she skimmed for profit.
- Phan was charged with 39 offences, including directing a criminal group and multiple deception counts, and was refused bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday.
- The 25-year-old was charged with several offences and granted conditional bail to appear in January, according to police.
- Detectives seized financial records, electronics, luxury handbags, a 40‑gram gold bar worth about A$10,000, and roughly A$6,600 in casino chips during the search.
- The NSW Crime Commission froze an additional A$15 million, lifting restrained assets linked to the case to about A$75 million, as Strike Force Myddleton’s wider probe traces alleged ‘ghost car’ financing, broader loan fraud, and earlier arrests including alleged ringleader Bing “Michael” Li and NAB manager Timotius Donny Sungkar.
