A disgraced real estate agent facing criminal charges who fled to India has been fined and had his licence cancelled after he failed to return to New Zealand.
Gurpreet Singh Grewal is facing District Court relating to his failed real estate business Preet & Co Real Estate.
The business operated across Auckland as part of the Harcourts franchise until it was liquidated and placed in voluntary administration in 2018.
Grewal was later charged with failing to correctly file PAYE, and owes about $500,000 to IRD.
He was also facing four charges of theft by a person in a special relationship relating to allegations he transferred money out of his company’s real estate trust accounts to pay other company debts.
