An Australian pharmacist has seen a dozen cars seized, including multiple supercars, as part of an investigation into allegedly making millions of dollars by filing false claims, reports Road & Truck.
According to the Australian Federal Police, the man made the false claims for nearly a decade, and a result is believed to have taken in $6.5 million (USD) in illegitimate earnings.
Authorities say the 58-year-old man is accused of making false claims under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme between 2014 and 2023.
The proceeds from these claims may have played a role in allowing the man to live a lavish lifestyle, authorities allege, including a mansion and a 12-car collection that included seven BMWs, two Ferraris, two Lamborghinis and a McLaren.
The man has been charged with two counts of dealing in proceeds of crime worth $1 million or more, and penalties for these charges can be up to 25 years in prison.
He is also facing two counts of dishonesty causing a loss to the Commonwealth, these carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
If the man is convicted, his car collection will be liquidated by the Australian Financial Security Authority, and the proceeds would go to programs that support crime prevention.
