Four Qld men charged with fraud by CCC

Four men have been charged with fraud and money laundering offences following an 18-month investigation into a Queensland law firm.

The Brisbane men were arrested after Crime and Corruption Commission investigators allegedly uncovered fraud against Legal Aid Queensland valued about $340,000.

A failure to comply with a legal requirement to deposit more than $765,000 into a trust account was also discovered.

CCC Chairman Alan MacSporran QC said any fraud committed on Legal Aid Queensland was fraud against the state's taxpayers and had the potential to interfere with the administration of justice.

"The fact some of these allegations relate to individuals involved in the legal profession is (also) concerning," he said in a statement on Sunday.

The CCC will also allege some of the men laundered the proceeds of serious criminal offences.

A 47-year-old Tarragindi man was charged with two counts of aggravated fraud, fraudulent falsification of records and aggravated money laundering.

He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.

A 30-year-old Inala man was charged with aggravated fraud and aggravated money laundering.

The man was also remanded in custody and is expected to appear in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Monday.

A 28-year-old Wynnum man and a 30-year-old Alderley man were charged with aggravated fraud.

Both men were bailed to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on November 19.

More arrests are expected.
