Warwick Credit Union has confirmed that Jim Lindsay has resigned from his role as a board member.
As reported in the Free Times Mr Lindsay was earlier this month charged with official corruption in his role as chief executive officer of Ipswich City Council following a Crime and Corruption Commission probe.
Up until last Monday 18 September Mr Lindsay was a serving member of the board of Warwick Credit Union, with a spokesman confirming to the Free Times that Mr Lindsay resigned from that position on that day.
Mr Lindsay – who has been stood aside from his role as CEO of Ipswich City Council – was arrested by CCC investigators on Thursday 14 September and charged with one count of official corruption.
Mr Lindsay was the assistant general manager of Warwick Credit Union from June 2003 to December 2006, prior to which he was director of Finance and Corporate Services with the former Warwick Shire Council from 1995.
He is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 11 October.
The CCC investigation into Ipswich City Council has so far also resulted in extortion and other charges being brought against former Ipswich mayor Paul Pisasale and a misconduct charge against Ipswich City Council’s chief operating officer of works, parks and recreation Paul Mausley.
Former Southern Downs Regional Council chief executive officer Andrew Roach is Ipswich City Council’s current chief financial officer.
