Accused scammers could face more charges

The two Latvian nationals who allegedly defrauded hundreds of Australian customers will be investigated for potential links to wider criminal networks.

Aleksandrs Gorikijis, 27, and Anastasia Sveinika, 25, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday, where they were remanded until next month.

They were both charged with more than 30 counts of fraud and one count of money laundering.

The pair allegedly defrauded more than 200 customers across Australia of more than $252,000 by advertising outdoor furniture, barbecues, marine motors and fitness equipment on 28 websites.

Detective Sergeant Kris Steadman said the number of victims was likely to rise.

The accused could also be charged with further offences in other states.
