Defence lawyers for a mining executive accused of gold theft have questioned the level of involvement by a private lawyer and other company directors in crafting a police statement for well-known West Australian entrepreneur Peter Bartlett.
As the founder of FMR Investments, Mr Bartlett has testified in the District Court trial of his former "protege", 42-year-old Patrick Rhyan Keogh, who served as the gold miner's general manager for more than a decade.
