Five arrested over $235m government fraud
Five people have been arrested and charged with defrauding federal government agencies of a combined $235 million through falsely claimed rebates from programs including the NDIS and Veterans' Affairs. Australian Federal Police raids across the country seized $120,000 in cash, along with tens of thousands of dollars worth of silver bullion, gold coins, and jewellery. The arrests are part of a national major government fraud investigation targeting those exploiting taxpayer-funded support programs.
