A man who was convicted of illegally dumping more than 17 million kilos of asbestos-contaminated waste may be required to repay $2.4 million that he allegedly obtained through crime.
Fayed Afram is already required to pay $460,000 and has been sentenced to a two-year intensive corrections order in separate cases of dumping asbestos and hazardous waste.
The Director of Public Prosecutions in NSW is now pursuing him in the Supreme Court and seeking $2.4 million as the proceeds of his crime. They are also attempting to seize cash deposited into a company account and twelve vehicles and two trailers related to the businesses.
In June last year, he was sentenced after entering a guilty plea to fraudulently obtaining more than $4 million in proceeds from taking contaminated waste and dumping it on private property, rather than at authorised waste facilities, which would have attracted $2.4 in levies to the NSW branch of the EPA.
The waste in question was taken from sites during the development of Green Square in 2016 and 2017.
