Former Access Brokerage boss remanded

The former managing director of now-defunct Access Brokerage has been remanded until next month on fraud charges.

Peter Gerald Marshall, 59, faces 15 charges of making false accounting entries with intent to defraud and knowingly making false statements in accounts to deceive or cause loss.

He was remanded today by a Wellington District Court registrar until August 29 but did not appear to answer the charges in person.

Marshall was charged after the collapse of the company in September last year with a shortfall of $5 million in client funds.
