Pusey banned from business

MELBOURNE: A notorious Melbourne Porsche driver, who filmed dying police after they were hit by a truck while impounding his luxury car, has been banned from providing financial services.

Former mortgage broker Richard Pusey, 43, has been banned for 10 years by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission from providing financial and credit services or engaging in financial and credit activities for lying on paperwork.

Pusey on Monday faced an online hearing at Melbourne Magistrates Court, pleading guilty to assaulting a woman in Fitzroy in December.

He also pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to menace a Westpac Bank employee during a series of messages in August 2019 that followed a credit card dispute.

He will be sentenced today.
