Fraud charges against eight former Logan City councillors dropped almost two years after sacking
Fraud charges against eight former Logan City Councillors have been dropped – almost two years after their arrests triggered the entire council’s sacking.
Key points:
- Eight councillors including the former mayor were charged by the CCC
- The charges led to the then Local Government Minister sacking the entire council
- The court found there was not enough evidence to sustain the charges
Seven Logan City Councillors and former mayor Luke Smith had all been charged by Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) with fraud relating to former council chief executive Sharon Kelsey’s dismissal.
The corruption watchdog had alleged the councillors acted together to dishonestly cause detriment to Ms Kelsey by terminating her employment in 2018.
