Mr Papas narrowly avoided being hit with contempt of court charges on Friday after he sent a long-overdue list of his assets and liabilities to the Federal Court, related to global freezing orders over his alleged fraud.
Despite the threat of contempt charges falling away, Westpac was quick to tell the court it had grave concerns over the accuracy of statements in Mr Papas’ affidavit, accusing the alleged fraudster of lying.
