$300,000.00 Fraud Charge discontinued

Alan Phillips of our office was engaged to act for our client who was charged with defrauding a bank of approximately $300,000.00 via his previous business interests.

Daniel Caruana was briefed. The brief was disclosed by police. A thorough examination was conducted, and thorough instructions were taken from our client.

The matter was listed for cross-examination of the main crown witness at a committal hearing. Following evidence, a submission was sent to the DPP. As a result, both charges against our client were discontinued in their entirety.

Our experience extends from alleged white-collar crime, through to serious drug and other offences. Fraud can carry up to 20 years imprisonment as a maximum penalty depending on the circumstances.
