SUSANNE Hunter was yesterday given a 15-month prison term in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court, after being convicted of defrauding Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) Australia of more than $2.4 million.
Hunter, the wife of former CMV CEO Grant Hunter, was charged earlier this year (TD 14 Feb) over allegations of multiple fraud and money laundering offences.
According to a Seven News report, Hunter made hundreds of illegal money transfers from the company into her own bank account over a number of years, during which she was a Director of CMV Australia as well as being its Passenger Services and Office Manager.
False invoices were created to obscure the swindle, with the Magistrate describing the fraud as a “significant abuse of trust”.
The report says much of the money has been repaid, with Hunter’s custodial sentence running until Feb 2021.
