Country musician Craig Heath has tried to keep secret fresh charges of providing financial services while bankrupt following accusations he ran a $10m property scam. The musician, who claimed he worked with superstar Keith Urban, already faces 35 criminal charges from Cardinia detectives, but has been laid a new blow by the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA). The 51-year-old tried to keep his latest charge of providing services while bankrupt out of the public eye during a court appearance on Wednesday. His defence lawyer Ian Hone told the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court he’d been “instructed to oppose” the release of charge sheets to the media by Mr Heath, who beamed in for the hearing on a video link. “I have no particular proposition as to why the ordinary course shouldn’t be followed,” he said. Magistrate David Starvaggi replied that “the Open Courts Act is pretty clear, the charges will be released”. Documents reveal that Mr Heath faces a new charge of obtaining $6k or more on February 5, 2021 to render financial services but never told the client he was an undischarged bankrupt. The Malvern East country singer is expected to return to court in April.
