A Queensland pork industry heavyweight has been named as one of the people charged over alleged large-scale financial crimes that authorities claim resulted in tens of millions of dollars being funnelled out of businesses for personal use.

Darren Gary Wilson, 63, alongside Cameron Ronald Wilson are alleged to have kept $10 million in sales records off the books for personal use and moved more than $30 million in cash between New South Wales and Queensland between 2017 and 2026.

The men are facing multiple charges each including receiving and possessing tainted property, destroying records, fraud, making false declarations and fraudulent omission of entry in record.

They have also been accused of fraudulently relabelling frozen meat products to alter production and best before dates.

Pork industry financial crimes charges

Police allege about $10 million was funnelled out of businesses in the pork meat industry for personal use. 

Authorities have confirmed the changes did not pose a risk to food safety.

The pair were not required to appear in person on Monday and their bail has been extended.

Darren Wilson is a prominent face in the pork industry, starting Wilpak wholesale meats in Ipswich in the 1980s.

The company has since expanded to include meat processing and pig farms in Queensland.

He is also widely known in the racing industry.

Darren and Cameron Wilson are to return to court in coming weeks.

The pair were charged following a joint investigation involving the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission, the New South Wales Police Anti-Money Laundering Unit and the New South Wales Crime Commission.
