Victoria's anti-corruption Commission, IBAC, today charged a former Corrections Victoria officer from Dhurringile Prison with seven counts of bribery of a public official and one count of misconduct in public office.
The charges are the result of an investigation by IBAC following a notification from Corrections Victoria into suspected corrupt conduct at Dhurringile Prison.
Court proceedings are scheduled to commence at Echuca Magistrates’ Court on 10 October 2018.
As this matter is now before the Courts, IBAC will make no further comment.
Since 1 December 2016, heads of departments and council CEOs (among other ‘Relevant Principal Officers’) are obliged to notify IBAC when they have reasonable grounds to suspect corruption is occurring or has occurred in their workplace.
