Charges, Doomadgee
Police have charged two men with misconduct following investigations into alleged fraudulent activity within the Doomadgee Aboriginal Shire Council.
It will be alleged that in July police received a complaint regarding fraudulent conduct by two public officers, including the falsification of council minutes and the use of council credit cards to fund private travel.
Police received a further complaint in August that one of the public officers had also assaulted a colleague.
Ongoing investigations have resulted in a 46-year-old Doomadgee man being charged with misconduct in relation to public office and uttering a forged document.
Another 46-year-old Doomadgee man has been charged with the same offences as well as serious assault.
Both have been bailed to appear in the Doomadgee Magistrates Court on September 14.
Investigations are continuing.
