Police investigation has been ongoing since March last year and evidence includes phone calls,emails and bank transfers

A potential clean out in the industry but all are currently innocent until proven guilty. One of the highlights of living in  a democracy.

Apologies Scoobie but thats the point my post was supposed to make. You have 1 person saying BO had been arrested and then another big fan Hunter saying Orange and McGrath were clear

The truth will come out thats for certain...if you can't prove it done post it but once whatever the outcome is..then its fine to post...cheers.

I have also heard that a certain Canterbury trainer who had a bit of success at Manawatu has been implicated

Careful Richie , implicated and guilty are two different outcomes.

It would be helpful to the whole industry if the arrested were named ASAP so as not to tarnish the reputations of the many  innocent parties out there in Harness racing

Wonder how far this is going to reach....?

I'd be surprised if Graham Beirne is involved in this...makes enough through Chevron dealership in Christchurch.

Not forgetting his pension and winter heating payment.

Surprised that no one has come up with a potential conspiracy theory. Greyhound Trainer gets large fine last week,Mesarra gallops report comes out and now this raid turns up  race fixing allegations in Harness races

Surely its just coincidental given how long the investigation has been going on

Seems to me that the RIU has been asleep at the wheel. If so heads should roll.

How so - if the information was passed onto Police and an investigation ongoing for the last 18 months, surely the RIU has been doing their job?

Surely whoever was investigated 18 months ago would not be silly enough to keep a shady operation going after the warning back then!

I don't think they knew they were under police investigation

Dexter house has been searched and computer taken.Apparently he will be initially interviewed by USA authoritys

Would he be elligible to plead the fifth at an interview cos in nz he would have the right to silence which is the stance each and every one charged should adopt
