The man, who has not yet been named by the Crime and Corruption Commission, was today charged as a result of CCC’s ongoing investigation into the Brisbane criminal law firm.
He is the eighth person to be charged as a result of Operation Stockade.
Lawyers Weekly previously reported that four lawyers and two former clients were charged with numerous offences as part of Operation Stockade. Later, a barrister was issued with a notice to appear to face two charges of perjury, and one of the lawyers originally charged – Adam Magill – was additionally charged with breach of bail.
Elsewhere, The Crime and Corruption Commission and Queensland Police Service officers involved in the Operation Stockade investigation had a complaint issued against them over alleged improper conduct.
MORE TO COME.
