The accused architect of the Plutus tax fraud Adam Cranston held a senior role in a business that police allege was secretly controlled by construction identity George Alex and drug king-pin Michael Ibrahim and received millions of dollars obtained from tax fraud.

The Australian Financial Review can reveal that as early as February 2018 Mr Cranston was in business meetings with Mr Alex and Mr Alex’s financier Lindsay Kirschberg, both who were charged last week with allegedly operating a $17 million tax fraud.
