Former Ipswich City Council employee arrested on corruption charges

The Crime and Corruption Commission has charged a former employee of the Ipswich City Council this afternoon following an on-going investigation.

The 65-year-old man was arrested and taken to the Brisbane watchhouse where he was charged with one count of official corruption and one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The man from Brookwater is expected to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 24 October.

The arrest is the latest in a string of corruption charges against former or current Ipswich City Council employees.

Last month City Council CEO, Jim Lindsay, was arrested and charged with corruption by the CCC.

Former Ipswich Mayor, Paul Pisasale, has also been arrested and charged by the corruption watchdog.
