A Passion for Expensive Cars Ruined a Pharmacist (16 photos)
It is unclear whether the passion for expensive cars pushed the seasoned pharmacist to play with the law or whether it was just a way to spend criminal proceeds. But there were cars involved in any case. 
From 2014 to 2023, the 58-year-old man earned at least $7 million through fraud. According to federal police, he issued false documents, taking advantage of loopholes in the Pharmaceutical Benefits Program, which is designed to subsidize the purchase of prescription drugs by Australian citizens.
As part of the investigation, authorities have seized the suspect's bank accounts and properties, including a pharmacy in Cabramatta East, and an impressive fleet of cars from his estate in New South Wales have been impounded. The list of the pharmacist's personal cars would be a credit to an oligarch: seven BMWs, including a late-generation M3 sedan and a 7-series sedan, Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 GTB supercars, a Lamborghini Aventador and Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae, and the cherry on the cake - a McLaren 765LT in the MSO version, Carscoops reports.
If the fraudster is found guilty, the charges brought by the prosecution carry a combined maximum prison term of 35 years with confiscation of illegally acquired property.
