A 53-year-old Chifley man is the third person that has been charged following an investigation into alleged money mule activity in the ACT.
Police searched a Chifley home on Tuesday as part of an investigation into people allegedly using bank accounts to move millions of dollars obtained through business email compromise scams.
Investigators seized bank cards, documents linked to the alleged offending and identity documents suspected to be fraudulent.
The man has been charged with receiving stolen property, and dealing in the proceeds of crime greater than $1 million and greater than $50,000.
Police allege those involved converted stolen money into gold bullion, cash and cryptocurrency.
He is the third person charged as part of the investigation with a 49-year-old Fisher man charged in April and a 75-year-old man charged in December 2025.
