The District Court trial of five people accused of a million-dollar gold swindle in Western Australia's Goldfields has been told that "they stole that pile of dirt" known as a "clean-up pile".
Patrick Ryhan Keogh, 42, the former general manager of FMR Investments, which owns the Greenfields Mill near Coolgardie, is among the accused, alongside two of his former subordinates and two directors of a privately-owned earthmoving and haulage company.
