Two More Men have Been Charged with Racing Fraud
Operation Quebec Creed
Police have arrested and charged a further two men with fraud following a 14-month long investigation by officers from the QPS Queensland Racing Crime Squad.
The charges are the result of Operation Quebec Creed, an investigation into suspected doping practices by a network of people involved in the thoroughbred racing industry.
A 49-year-old man from Forestdale has been arrested and charged with:
- one count of aggravated fraud
he was bailed to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 16, 2019.
A 41-year-old male from Lockyer Waters, has also been arrested with one count of:
- aggravated fraud
and bailed to appear at Gatton Magistrates Court on July 15, 2019.
It is alleged that both men enabled and facilitated the administration of unregistered horse supplements by a third party, which resulted in dishonestly obtaining a financial benefit through thoroughbred race winnings.
These charges follow yesterday’s arrest of Toowoomba’s Ben Currie.
