Fraud charges against eight former Logan City councillors have been dropped – almost two years after their arrests triggered the entire council s sacking.
Key points:
The charges led to the then Local Government Minister sacking the entire council
The court found there was not enough evidence to sustain the charges
Seven Logan City Councillors and former mayor Luke Smith had all been charged by Queensland s Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) with fraud relating to former council chief executive Sharon Kelsey s dismissal.
Prosecutors officially discontinued the charges at a hearing in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
A public gallery packed with councillors, family and supporters erupted in cheers and celebration as their fight for justice was finally declared to be over.
Outside court, many could not hold back tears as the realisation that the legal fight to clear their names - one that had destroyed marriages, relationships and careers - was finally over.
Seven former councillors Russell Lutton, Cherie Dalley, Phil Pidgeon, Steve Swenson, Laurie Smith, Trevina Schwarz and Jennie Breene and former mayor Luke Smith were charged with fraud by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC).
