Adviser jailed on charges brought by ASIC
A Perth-based financial adviser who allegedly stole $48,000 from a client was today sentenced to a one-year jail term on charges brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Western Australia Police Major Fraud Squad.
Annemieke De Boer, who was the managing director and authorised representative of Centro Financial Synergy Group, pleaded guilty to the charge.
ASIC permanently banned De Boer from providing financial services in September last year and alleged that in November 2005, De Boer stole the money from her client, who had requested that the funds be applied to a particular investment.
