Fraud, Sharks threat accused in court

15 Jul, 2009 05:59 PM
A Goulburn man and his two parents have faced court in relation to an alleged insurance fraud involving the struggling Cronulla sharks football club.

Clint Leigh Elford is accused of fleecing the American International Insurance company out of $525,000.

The 27-year-old man appeared via video link up from Goulburn jail.

He has also been charged with trying to send a document threatening death or grievous bodily harm.

It is alleged the letter found by corrective services staff at Goulburn jail was to a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang and made threats to a former sharks boss Tony Zappia.

Leslie Alma Elford, 52, and Graham Norman Elford, 58, appeared in person on money laundering charges.

They were charged on June 19 in Goulburn with recklessly dealing with the proceeds of crime. The three will reappear in court on September 16.

No bail application was made for Clint Leigh Elford, who remains in custody.
