Three sons who stole $1.6 million from their elderly parents yet to face criminal charges
More than two years after $1.6 million was siphoned from her dementia-affected grandparents' estate by their three sons, a young Perth woman wants to know why no charges have been laid.
Key points:
Chloe's grandparents had $1.6 million siphoned from their estate by their sons
The State Administrative Tribunal found there were "questionable transactions"
No criminal charges have been laid, and Chloe wants elder abuse laws introduced
Chloe* spent a lot of time, money, and emotional energy in raising the alarm about the disappearance of her grandparents' assets, but is now frustrated that there have been no serious repercussions for what she alleges is criminal behaviour.
She said she would probably already be in prison if she had taken such a big amount of money from her employer's bank account.
"Their only punishment has been returning the house and money," she said.
"And they are going to get it straight back. They just wanted it before their time."
