A Brisbane man has been charged with defrauding an indigenous grants organisation of more than $250,000.
A 28-year-old Nundah man will face Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday with dishonestly obtaining $253,181 from the Queensland Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander College for Health, Education and Training, police say.
The investigation into the alleged fraud began three months ago.
Police say the charges are not related to any other fraud investigation.
It’s the second major fraud charge police have made in the past few weeks.
Queensland Health employee Joel Morehu-Barlow was charged this month with embezzling $11 million from the department, but he is accused of stealing $5 million more.
Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson on Thursday said the investigation into the missing $5 million was continuing and would take time to complete.
