WA: Finance broker charged with fraud over internet transactions

PERTH, April 29 AAP - A Perth finance broker has been charged with fraud for allegedly
transferring more than $23,000 from his employer's bank account into his personal account,
police say.

Police allege the man used internet banking facilities between December 2 last year
and April 11 this year to transfer the money in more than 70 illegal transactions.

"The employee had access to the finance company's bank account number and password
and the alleged transfers were discovered following an audit of the accounts receivable
and payable," police spokesman Ian Hasleby said.

The 23-year-old Karrinyup man was charged yesterday with 72 charges of gaining benefits
by fraud and was remanded in custody to appear in the Perth Magistrates court today.
