The Serious Fraud Office says Auckland's property market and the scale of commercial developments is a 'key environmental risk'.
The Serious Fraud Office is investigating large-scale mortgage fraud in the Auckland property market involving developers, company directors, property valuers and lawyers.
"Auckland's property market and the scale of impending commercial developments represent a key environmental risk," the SFO said in its 2015 annual report released this week. "We have invested significant resources into investigating a large-scale mortgage fraud involving highly organised teams of property developers, shell company directors, property valuers and lawyers."
The SFO, which aims to reduce the impact of serious financial crime on both the economy and the public, said the investigation is ongoing and declined further comment.
In a separate case taken by the SFO, former mortgage broker Vicky Ravana Letele was last month convicted of fraud in the Auckland District Court over a scheme where she sold properties to low income families for a profit, using forged documents to allow them to obtain home loans.
The SFO established she had conspired with Ramni Kumar to obtain mortgage finance for low income families using false documents. The finance was then used to purchase properties from interests related to Letele and Kumar, who profited from the transaction.
Auckland's property market is running hot as construction of new houses fails to keep up with demand from an influx of migrants. The SFO has also previously probed allegations of fraud and corruption in the rebuilding of earthquake damaged Christchurch.
不知道很多华人贷款中介 建议贷款人找朋友公司开工资证明 算不算fraud?(不过好像华人 有国内家人做后盾,应该不会还不起房贷的) 看来以后房市有所迟缓后,很多潜在问题都会暴露出来的。
