Melbourne Magistrates Court was on 16 December 2014 told of the deceptions allegedly perpetrated by Andrew Jeffery Flanagan. He was made group GM strategy and business development at department stores chain Myer in mid-2014, but lasted just one day in the role before it emerged that he had faked the qualifications and experience on his resume. Flanagan has been granted bail ahead of a directions hearing on 17 December, and has been committed to stand trial on seven counts of fraud and theft. He had also duped the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Bendigo Health and Specialty Fashion Group

Australian department stores chain Myer in mid-June 2014 appointed Andrew Flanagan its new strategy and business development GM. It pointed out at the time that he had a wide-ranging background in the retailing sector, including a role at the Inditex Group of Spain that owns clothing stores business Zara. However the latter then said it had never employed Flanagan, and Myer on 24 June announced Flanagan’s dismissal. Court action is also possible over the deception
