1:40 PM CASE STUDY: Investigating and Arresting a South Australian Fraud Syndicate

Due to the siloed nature of financial services, fraudulent claims can often be used repeatedly to receive money.
The South Australian Police Force recently uncovered $2.9 million worth of application fraud committed by a 7 person crime syndicate, who were charged with 120 occurrences of application fraud each. These fraudulent applications involved $596,000 for housing finance with the rest related to vehicles and personal loans.

  • An overview of the case: how the syndicate was brought to the police’s attention and then consequently investigated
  • Using legislation, such as Dishonest Dealings with Documents, to prosecute criminals
  • Working in cooperation with affected financial institutions to analyse data and follow their paper trail
