Man charged with fraud over Bondi Beach shooting claim
Australian police have charged a man with falsely claiming he was injured in a mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach in an attempt to gain financial compensation.
A 46-year-old man has been charged with falsely claiming he was injured during a mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach, allegedly in an attempt to obtain financial compensation. The shooting occurred at a Jewish festival on December 14, resulting in 15 deaths and dozens of injuries. The incident, carried out by a father-and-son duo, has led to Naveed Akram, the son, facing 78 charges, including terrorism and murder.
Naveed Akram currently remains in custody, while the father, Sajid Akram, was killed by police during the attack. The accused man has been granted conditional bail and is set to appear in Parramatta Local Court on November 18.
