Former State Government employee to appear in court

The Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) has today issued a former State Government employee with a Notice to Appear in Court over alleged demands and threats he made to the Government.

The 60-year-old Moggill man is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 11 July on one charge of demands with menaces upon agencies of government, contrary to section 54A of the Queensland Criminal Code.

The CMC will allege that after the man’s employment was terminated in November 2012, he threatened to release information and make a complaint to police unless he was re-employed in another role in the Government.

As the matter is now before the courts, the CMC is unable to comment further.
