Two brothers in Sydney have faced fresh charges over an alleged scam that cost an 88-year-old man with dementia more than $600,000. Police say the case involved impersonating bank staff and gaining access to the man’s accounts; the new charges expand the allegations against both men.

George Mensah, 22, has been charged with additional deception and identity-information offences, while his brother Jesse, 25, faces further deception and identity offences, as well as a charge of possessing an unauthorised pistol. Police allege the scam lasted about a year and involved buying shares and transferring money. A third man was also charged over allegedly trading $32,000 in shares. The brothers’ solicitor says they will defend the charges and has suggested others may have been involved.
