Antoniolli, then aged 48, was found guilty of fraud by Magistrate Anthony Gett on June 6, 2019.
That followed a defended hearing, in which evidence was presented, alleging Antoniolli had fraudulently used more than $10,000 of Ipswich City Council's community donation funds to buy charity items at auction.
During the trial, the court heard Antoniolli would purchase items at events using council funding.

His trial largely centred around a $5000 Trek racing bicycle Antoniolli acquired from Ipswich's Yellow Jersey Bike Shop.
He was sentenced in August 2019 by Mr Gett to six months jail, wholly suspended.
A conviction was recorded. His legal team then lodged a notice of appeal.
