Lawyers for five people accused of a million-dollar gold theft in Western Australia's Goldfields have used closing arguments to renew their attacks on the credibility of one of the prosecution's key witnesses, well-known mining entrepreneur Peter Bartlett.
The District Court trial has been running for the past three weeks, hearing evidence from eight witnesses relating to the alleged theft of 8,465 tonnes of gold-bearing ore from the Greenfields Mill near Coolgardie.
