Election theft case dropped

-

PROSECUTOR­S have withdrawn charges against a senior public servant charged with stealing CLP election corflutes during last year’s Territory election.

Ronald Greaves, a senior official in the Education Department, appeared in Darwin Local Court in January charged with stealing.

It is understood Greaves removed a corflutes near his house belonging to CLP candidate Giovanna Webb.

The charges were withdrawn Thursday morning, before a hearing began. The

Sunday Territoria­n understand­s prosecutor­s withdrew the charge after reviewing the legislatio­n and concluding Greave’s alleged actions likely did not constitute an offence.
