Brookwater man charged with Official Corruption

A 65-year-old Brookwater man was charged this afternoon with Official Corruption and Attempt to Pervert the Course of Justice following a Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) investigation.

CCC investigators arrested the former Ipswich City Council employee this afternoon.

He was transported to the Brisbane Watch-house where he was charged with:

• 1 x Official Corruption contrary to Section 87 of the Criminal Code.
• 1 x Attempt to Pervert the Course of Justice contrary to Section 140 of the Criminal Code.

He is expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 24 October 2017.

As the CCC’s investigation remains ongoing and this matter is now before the court, the CCC is unable to comment further.

The CCC is an independent agency combating major crime and reducing corruption for the benefit of the Queensland community.
