It will be alleged that between 1 April 2004 and 11 October 2006 the man, who was then working as an Estates Services Officer at the Public Trustee, failed to perform or discharge an official duty or function whilst handling an estate valued at $14 million, and he did so with the intention of either securing a benefit for others or causing a detriment to another person.
The man has been summonsed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 18 June 2020 at 10am.
