SFO: Cracking a $2.3 million COVID-19 fraud case

As part of the Fraud Awareness Week 2025 webinar series.

In August 2022, the Serious Fraud Office filed charges against Hun Min Im for allegedly attempting to claim $1.88 million under the wage subsidy scheme. It was later alleged that he claimed over $2.3 million.

Mr Im faced further charges relating to false GST returns and his attempts to fraudulently claim from numerous other government support schemes. He also faced forgery charges relating to documents submitted to the New Zealand Companies Office.

In this webinar, Ian Martin, Principal Investigator at the Serious Fraud Office will discuss the Hun Min Im case and give us insights into:

  • the risks inherent in emergency funding
  • the lengths that someone would go to defraud multiple agencies
  • how the various agencies collaborated to uncover and investigate the fraud.

Real case. Real impact. Real lessons.
