Waitangi Trust fraud accused in court
The Serious Fraud Office has charged the former corporate services manager of the Waitangi National Trust of defrauding it of about $1.2 million.
Thirty-year-old Wallace Tamamotu Te Ahuru of Kerikeri was arrested after returning from Australia and made a brief appearance at the Manukau District Court on Tuesday.
He entered no plea and was remanded on bail until September.
The trust administers the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and the surrounding forestry and farmlands, which provides all its income.
