Corruption watchdog hits former Ipswich council CEO and wife with more charges

Carl Wulff and his wife are accused of accepting a score of corrupt payments.

A former Ipswich City Council CEO and his wife, who were charged by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) last year, have been hit with a string of additional corruption charges.

It is alleged issued 66-year-old Carl Wulff and his 51-year-old wife Sharon Oxenbridge received about $104,000 in corrupt payments related to contracts for Ipswich City Council during 2012 and 2013.

They were issued with a notice to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 23.

The couple was first charged with corruption and attempting to pervert the course of justice last October.

Mr Wulff resigned from Ipswich City Council in 2013 and then took a position as CEO of Liverpool City Council in western Sydney, where he remained until 2016.

In a statement, the CCC said as part of an ongoing investigation it would allege Mr Wulff and Ms Oxenbridge received a total of 20 separate corrupt payments.
