A second woman has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into a multi-million dollar fraud against a financial institution.
In February 2018, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Financial Crimes Squad established Strike Force Napthali to investigate allegations of corrupt commissions being paid for contracts with a financial institution valued at more than $40 million over a five-year period.
A 43-year-old woman was arrested and charged last Friday (1 March 2019). She remains before the courts.
Following further inquiries, Strike Force Napthali detectives arrested a 43-year-old woman at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills about 11am today (Tuesday 5 March 2019).
The woman, who is a former executive employee of the financial institution, will be charged later today.
Further information will be available when it comes to hand.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Napthali investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
