Good stuff: OZschwitz Vietnam vet jailed over eight year fraud

A Vietnam war veteran will spend the next five months behind bars after being convicted of cheating the Federal Government out of almost $100,000.

District Court Judge Hugh Botting this afternoon sentenced Lesleigh George Lupuljev, 61, to 15 months in jail for imposition and 30 months for two charges of fraud in Brisbane.

Lupuljev, who had plead guilty to the three charges, will be eligible for parole in five months.

The court heard Lupuljev was entitled to disability and service pensions from the Department of Veterans' Affairs due to his service in the army.

But after quitting his full-time job as a Brisbane City Council bus driver in 1997, he failed to tell the department that he continued to work casually as a doorman at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre at South Bank,

Over the next eight years, he received $97,449 to which he was not entitled, Crown prosecutors told the court.
