The three letters "ATO," come out in Australia with awe, and ATO people don`t usually have any good results.
Once upon a time, a pizza shop made more than 200,000 profits but was urged by ATO to pay 2 million of the tax; there were also 50-year-old aunts earning $700 a week and suddenly being cancelled by ATO ABN.
But feng shui turns around, now, the former director of ATO has also been caught overturning the boat!
Last month, Australia`s youngest tax commissioner, Petroulias, was arrested!
Not only did he find a lot of fake money, in his wallet, but also a different name of bank card and problematic driver`s license.
On June 20, New state police stopped 50-year-old Petroulias, in downtown Sydney and asked him to show him his license. Petroulias pulled out a New Zealand driver`s license called Nicholas James Piers.
After investigation, the police found that the Nicholas James Piers on the driver`s license was not a New Zealander, but a permanent resident of Australia, and his real name was not this Piers, but Petroulias..
I don`t know. It`s a surprise!
The former ATO director has used more than one pseudonym, including Nick Petersen and Michael Felson, and, of course, the real name Petroulias.
He was accused by police of holding a driver`s license in the new state, three in Kunzhou, one in the state of Victoria and one in the state of Tata, and was denied bail by the police and the court.
On Tuesday (July 10), he appeared in the Burwood District Court via video link.
He wore prison green clothes and stroked his hair with his fingers to cover his bald head.
According to court documents, he did not admit to deliberately holding seven forged A $50 notes and two bank cards intended to defraud.
His case was postponed to another hearing on August 14 th.
Petroulias said he would reapply to the court for bail.
In the past year, Petrolias was a legal scholar in Melbourne and was appointed Assistant Commissioner for the Australian Tax Office at the age of 30.
Since then, it has been rising all the time. Finally, he even sat in the chair of ATO`s second-in-chief! Perhaps because everything went too well! in 2014, he was forced to declare bankruptcy, with an estimated A $104 million debt.
Petroulias has become the most visible person ever caught in the arrest of high-risk drivers!
But the police refused to reveal any further information about why they had stopped Petroulias, in the street.
