开办托儿中心的业主因以欺诈手段申领数百万澳元的补贴和刺激款被起诉
为了申领政府的数百万澳元的钱，而这笔钱他们无权领取， 墨尔本的一对夫妻在他们的开办的一个托儿中心里注册‘幽灵儿童’ ，已经被起诉。
澳洲联邦警察（(AFP)已经起诉Ola Ouda,42岁及其伴侣Amjad Shehada, 47岁犯有严重的欺诈罪行。他们来自Doncaster East。
如果被判有罪， 他们将面临10年的监禁。
联邦警察搜查了维州和新州的数个物业后， 另外3人， 包括两名幼儿教育工作者， 也被起诉犯有严重的欺诈罪。
联邦警察官Todd Hunter说在调查进行当中， 调查人员与70多名教育工作者谈过话，或许有更多的人将被起诉。
他说：” 根据指称， 这家注册的墨尔本家庭日托商号连同数名同案被告，通过注册不参加托儿中心的孩子来骗取补贴。“
“你可以叫他们幽灵儿童。”
当局称，这项指称的欺诈行为敛财 1500 万澳元， 包括夸大一些孩子的入托时间或者课前课后托儿时间。
联邦警察说， 这对夫妻的生意如果不是全国最大， 也是领取接受托儿补贴的商业之一。
这对夫妻也被指控以欺诈手段，为他们在墨尔本拥有和经营的其它多个生意领取新冠病毒刺激款，包括Jobkeeper款。
联邦警察指称这对夫妻使用政府的刺激款维持奢华的生活方式，包括海外度假，购买豪华车，拥有多种房地产投资组合。

联邦警察和州教育部门出动了 265 人进行了这次抓捕行动。
本周对维州和新州的8个区发出了搜查令。

Childcare centre owners charged with fraudulently claiming millions in subsidy, stimulus payments
A Melbourne couple has been accused of registering "phantom children" at a childcare centre they operate in order to claim millions of dollars in government payments they are not entitled to.
he Australian Federal Police (AFP) have charged Ola Ouda, 42, and Amjad Shehada, 47, both from Doncaster East, with serious fraud.
They face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Three other people, including two childcare educators, have also been charged with serious fraud in the wake of AFP officers conducting raids on several properties in Victoria and New South Wales.
AFP Commander Todd Hunter said investigators spoke to more than 70 educators and parents during the course of their investigation and it was likely more people would be charged.
"It is alleged the registered provider of the Melbourne family daycare business, together with a number of co-accused, defrauded the Commonwealth-funded childcare subsidy payments by registering children who did not attend childcare to make false claims," he said.
"Phantom children, if you will."
The alleged fraud, which authorities say raked in $15 million, included exaggerating the hours some children attended child care or before- and after-school care.
The AFP said the couple's business was one of, if not the biggest, claimant and receiver of childcare supplement payments in the country.
The couple is also accused of fraudulently claiming coronavirus stimulus money, including Jobkeeper payments, for a number of Melbourne-based businesses they own and operate.
"This operation should serve as another clear warning that [alleged] fraud of this nature is stealing from the pockets of the Australian taxpayer," Commander Hunter said.
"This is money that belongs in the hands of our community to help care for some of our most vulnerable persons."
The AFP alleges the couple used the stimulus money to fund a lavish lifestyle that included overseas holidays, luxury cars and an extensive property portfolio.
The arrests follow an operation involving more than 265 people from the AFP and federal and state educations departments.
Search warrants were executed across eight suburbs in Victoria and New South Wales this week.
The AFP says accounting services for the childcare businesses were based in New South Wales.
Federal Education Minister Dan Tehan said the Government was determined to crack down on people trying to defraud the Commonwealth.
"Sadly there will always be people who want to exploit the Australian taxpayer, so we will seek to always be investigating and making sure that we've got the resources to ensure this isn't occurring," he said.
All five people charged have been released on bail to appear in court on June 9 next year.

说句公道话，中东裔总体上被澳洲雇主排斥，他们得想法子赚点钱活着吧。如果社会依然把他们往外推，此类事情将会层出不穷。
