BREAKING: A Warwick man charged with harness race fixing has had his matter mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates’ Court.
Dayl March, 46, was charged on Thursday 6 April with one count of match fixing after police raided properties across south-east Queensland.
A court spokeswoman said the matter was adjourned yesterday, Wednesday 10 May, for further mention in the court on Wednesday 7 June.
March was not required to enter a plea.
A second man, a 27-year-old from Limestone Ridges, east of Warrill View in the Ipswich area, was charged on Friday 7 April with four counts of match fixing in relation to harness racing, and was due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates’ Court today.
The licences of both men have been suspended by the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission until their matters are dealt with by the courts.
The charges followed an investigation by the Queensland Racing Crime Squad, the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission and the Crime and Corruption Commission.
During police searches in April on premises at Warwick, Limestone Ridges, The Gap, Logan Village and Redcliffe, detectives seized mobile phones, computers, documents and clothing, with the items to have been forensically examined as part of the investigation.
