Subscriber only The fraud trial of an ex-council CEO has heard he falsified meeting minutes and lied to rush a $500,000 severance payment for himself before he resigned. Former Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire Council chief executive Lee Robertson was charged with one count of fraud in 2015 after a Crime and Corruption Commission investigation. He had resigned from his role three years earlier. Mr Robertson pleaded not guilty to fraudulently obtaining $500,459.20 ($303,618.28 after tax) when his trial began on Monday. In his address to the jury on Thursday, crown prosecutor Sam Bain drew their attention to the then deputy mayor June Pearson s account, who said she raised concerns on November 15, 2012, over a resolution recorded in a meeting on September 20, 2012.
