Over 300 charges laid following investigation into law firm

The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) in Queensland has charged four individuals with fraud and money laundering offences, following an 18-month major crime investigation into the activities of a Brisbane-based law firm.
On Tuesday 24 November, the CCC charged three men and one woman with hundreds of offences, with the independent agency planning to allege that those four persons “were involved in serious fraud offences against a number of financial institutions” and that they “laundered the proceeds of serious criminal offences”.
The agency’s investigation, codenamed Operation Mercury, involved numerous search warrants executed at two Brisbane-based law firms, CCC said in a statement, as well as a number of business premises and private dwellings in Brisbane and the Gold Coast throughout the 18-month investigation.
The CCC has not named the law firm in question, nor the four individuals charged, but did say that it expects further charges to result from Operation Mercury.
The four individuals charged include a 45-year-old Helensvale man, who was served with a notice to appear in court to face: five counts of aggravated fraud, 89 counts of fraud, seven counts of fraudulent falsification of records and six counts of money laundering.
CCC noted that he is currently before the courts for a separate count of money laundering, relating to the seizure of $97,000 in cash on 24 February 2020.
The second individual is a 37-year-old Helensvale woman, who has been served with a notice to appear in court to face: one count of aggravated fraud, 76 counts of fraud, three counts of fraudulent falsification of records and three counts of money laundering.
The third individual is a 36-year-old Helensvale man, who has been served with a notice to appear in court to face: 12 counts of fraud, two counts of fraudulent falsification of records, one count of money laundering and one count of perjury.
The fourth and final individual is a 42-year-old Ascot man, who has been served with a notice to appear in court to face: six counts of aggravated fraud, 77 counts of fraud, seven counts of fraudulent falsification of records and seven counts of money laundering.
He was also previously charged in relation to one count of money laundering, relating to the seizure of $97,000 in cash on 24 February 2020 and was also charged in September 2020 with 12 counts of supplying a dangerous drug, CCC noted.
The quartet are expected to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 11 January 2021.
The charges brought follow the recent charging of a 25-year-old Norman Park man and a 42-year-old Narangba man, who – in alleged offences pertaining to this operation – were each charged with one count of supplying a dangerous drug on 18 September 2020.
These matters remain before the court, CCC noted.
In a statement, CCC chairperson Alan MacSporran QC said that the scale of the alleged offending identified during Operation Mercury “demonstrates why the CCC has a continued focus on the enablers of major and organised crime”.
“The CCC has an investigative focus on not just those who directly engage in major crime, but those individuals and groups of people who facilitate and enable it. Sophisticated business models, specialised systems and expertise are needed for organised crime groups to operate effectively. It is disappointing and concerning that some of the allegations relate to the legal profession,” Mr MacSporran said.
“The CCC will continue to direct its efforts on the systems and expertise that enable criminal networks to build and thrive by targeting those that enable and support serious criminal offending, and to make Queensland a hostile place to engage in crime for profit and to accumulate criminal wealth.”
CCC said it will not be commenting further, for the twofold reason that charges are now before the court and the investigation remains ongoing.
The amended statement of claim seeks to unravel all the trusts in which the money was stashed away... This will now bring wifey Jennifer Tucker into the fray... The Bonnie to Clyde does not get off that easy... Ask Stacey McIvor now Turner how the whole saga played out for her... End result home on Cronin Island built on the theft of other peoples money... GONE
I predicted the McIvor disaster in this thread 10 years ago... The Tucker catastrophe is 10 times worse - he is now heading into the abyss...
In 1995 / 1996, there was not a usable Internet capability in Australia. 98% Government Departments, had NO Internet capability, or understanding of Internet. I know. I was a Founder of such Internet development company in 1996.

Triple Witching Quote: "1996 - 2000, I tried to warn by letters, phone calls, and meetings, with various Govt, Qld State & Federal, Departments, Qld Police Fraud Squad, ASC then (ASIC now), of Tucker and his Mates" etc" None of the above, had interest whatsoever.
Equititrust is a company that will attract the ilk of former MFS executives.
Run and founded by an equally dubious character called Mark McIvor. This Mirky Financial Character has run under the radar for many years and now it seems the banks are calling in the money. One look at their web site demonstates the amount that had to be paid back to one bank who got wise... 90 Million Dollars... The demand was made by the bank after it lost confidence in Equititrust.
Sources within Equititrust have confirmed that if it were not for the freeze in redemptions "Forced" on Unit Holders the company would have collapsed.
To add insult to injury the Australian Newspapaer - Anthony Klan www.theaustralian.com.au/business/.../story-e6frg8zx-1225835823806 has reported that whilst investors funds are frozen they have been trying to dupe further investors by issuing another prospectus to raise more funds.
No surprise that Choice Magazine gave them a shonky award in 2008. Equititrust should be referred to as "No Equity" and "No Trust". Yet a search of google and various news articles on Equititrust reveal that its head Mark McIvor refuses in most cases to talk to the media despite its auditors stating in their annual report they have concerns regarding the stability of Equititrust. This was reported in the Australian in March 2010.
The intertwining of McIvor's personal and business interests is inextricably linked to the underwriting of the fund however this is not properly revealed by KPMG as the personal assets are in seperate holding companies which own beach front and river front properties etc which are are heavily leveraged and cross collaterised to support the borrowings of Equititrust. Not being able to raise further funds and only being able to survive for the last 2 years by holding people's money hostage is not the way to keep your bankers happy.
