A multi-agency crackdown on alleged NDIS fraud has seen investigators seize cash, precious metals and cryptocurrency assets across Queensland as part of a sweeping criminal probe into a suspected fraud syndicate.

The Australian Government Fraud Fusion Taskforce (FFT) has seized $176,000 in cash, silver and gold after executing five search warrants in Queensland as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into a fraud syndicate.

The joint investigation, codenamed Operation Benz, began in October 2025 after the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) identified a participant allegedly submitting National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) claims for support and services that were not provided.
