Rollerson and McGahan to stand trial on fraud charges

Hugh McGahan is accused of fraud.

Former All Black Doug Rollerson and ex-Kiwis league captain Hugh McGahan were today committed for trial for fraud.

The pair and three others - Touch New Zealand former chief executive Dick Arnott, former Touch NZ employee Geoffrey Alan Thompson and a woman who has name suppression, conceded in Auckland District Court morning that they had a prima facie case to answer.

They are accused of using false invoices to defraud sports organisations out of charity money.

Last week former Kiwis player Brent Todd and Stanley Malik Champalal Wijeyaratne admitted similar charges.

Todd and Wijeyaratne will be sentenced next month.
