A South Australian magistrate has faced court on deception charges after an investigation by the state’s Independent Commissioner Against Corruption.
Bob Harrap has been charged with two counts of deception, one count of conspiring to commit an abuse of public office and one count of conspiring or attempting to pervert the course of justice.
It will be alleged that in May Harrap misrepresented who was driving his government-issued car when it was observed committing traffic offences, and thereby engaged in deception to obtain a benefit for himself.
It will be separately alleged that he conspired with another person to pervert the course of justice and conspired to abuse his public office in relation to a matter that was to be heard by him.
Harrap appeared before Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday with District Court Judge Stephen McEwen hearing the case.
Appearing at the same time were three co-accused.
All matters were adjourned until later in July.
