So how many payments did they manage to extract from non-debtors. If the amount is small enough do they just pay to make it go away. How is the distinguished from false invoice fraud. If this was a non-state actor they would be prosecuted for a single instance of non-valid demand for payment, but if you're the state... No imagine the defence for an Ozzie invoice fraudster!
