Kuol Mawien Kuol: Fraudster brother of Socceroos star Garang Kuol who brokered ... trends now

The manager and brother of a teenage soccer star who went on a drug and alcohol-fuelled crime spree plans to leave the country if released from prison.

Kuol Mawien Kuol, 26, faced Melbourne Magistrate's Court on Wednesday having been found guilty of a series of offences including fraud, drug trafficking and possession.

The brother of Socceroos star Garang Kuol, 19, has been remanded in custody since June 29, 2023, after he spent almost a year on the run when he skipped bail.

His spree started by defrauding NAB customers - including a 95-year-old WWII veteran - of over $121,000 while working as a teller at a branch in Shepparton.

While on bail for those charges, he tried to sell cocaine to undercover police, used counterfeit money to buy a PlayStation 5 and was found in possession of cannabis.

Despite tighter bail conditions, Kuol fled Victoria to Sydney where he claims to have mediated an offer for his brother to sign with English Premier League team, Newcastle United, for $500,000 and taunted police of his whereabouts.

Defence barrister Damian Fragapane said Kuol now plans to leave Australia after his release from jail to put years of offending 'behind him' and start with a clean slate.  

Three victims of his fraud were aged in their 70s and 80s and the oldest was a man robbed of $28,200.

The 95-year-old World War II returned serviceman, who was Kuol's most targeted victim, was robbed from his war pension account in six hits of between $500 and $9200 over eight weeks around Christmas 2020.
