A man has been charged after allegedly lying about being injured in the deadly Bondi massacre and making a fraudulent compensation claim.
The 46-year-old man was arrested at Parramatta Police Station on Tuesday after an investigation by NSW Policeâs homicide squad.
He has been charged with publishing false and misleading material to obtain advantage and false representation, resulting in the police investigation.
The man was granted conditional bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on November 18.
Two gunmen opened fire on a Chanukah by the Sea Jewish event held at Bondi Beach in Sydney on December 14, 2025, killing 15 people and injuring dozens.
The incident shocked the nation, had a devastating effect on the local Jewish community and prompted a royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion.
One of the gunmen, 50-year-old Sajid Akram was shot dead at the scene.
His 24-year-old son Naveed Akram was injured and charged. He remains before the courts.
Detectives from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team oversaw the investigation into the attack, while homicide detectives began a secondary critical incident investigation into the actions of police.
