Shanel Tofaeono, 39, has been sentenced to four years and seven months in prison for his role in a staged robbery of a luxury jewellery store in Sydney. Tofaeono was part of an alleged $2.8 million insurance fraud plot orchestrated by jeweller Michel Germani.
A man who pretended to rob a luxury jewellery store and tied up a terrified employee as part of an alleged $2.8m insurance fraud plot has been jailed for his crime.
Judge John Pickering said Tofaeono had met his co-conspirators hours before heading to the Sydney store to commit the staged robbery with another accused Mounir Helou. According to agreed facts filed in the case, Michel Germani created the fraud plot because his store was not doing well financially. The staged robbery itself took 11 minutes before Tofaeono and Helou left, exchanging bags full of jewels and parting ways, the agreed facts say.
