Corruption watchdog in firing line as Logan council fraud charges thrown out
Wednesday April 14, 2021
Fraud charges against eight former Logan councillors have been sensationally dropped in a major embarrassment for the state’s corruption watchdog and the Palaszczuk Government, which sacked the entire council two years ago following the charges.
Former Logan mayor Luke Smith was one of eight councillors charged with fraud by the CCC (ABC photo).
The councillors, including former mayor Luke Smith, were dumped from their roles after the Crime and Corruption Commission charged them with fraud over the dismissal of former council CEO Sharon Kelsey.
