Qld couple plan to fight extradition on fraud charges Clifford Cicolini is in custody in WA over alleged 2002 fraud charges from Cairns. Sharyn Louise Cicolini, who now lives in Perth but is fighting extradition to Queensland over 2002 fraud charges. A COUPLE wanted by Queensland authorities over 2002 multi-million dollar fraud allegations plan to fight their extradition and instead surrender to void the warrant. Clifford Roger Cicolini and his wife Sharyn Louise Cicolini appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court this morning. Their lawyer Steven Shadgett told Magistrate Gregory Smith he would be applying for the extradition orders to be deemed invalid because the couple were never told they were still required to appear in the Cairns District Court. The court was told the couple were charged in Queensland in 2002 over bank loans with the National Australia Bank for their rural cattle station. Mr Shadgett said that back in 2005, as the charges were going through the Cairns court system, the Cicolinis were brought before the New South Wales courts on more fraud charges relating to the same loans. They were eventually convicted in NSW in 2009 of fraudulently obtaining nearly $2.5 million in bank loans for their cattle station. Mr Shadgett said when his clients were released in 2010 they were told if the matters resumed in Cairns, they would be told in writing. However they claimed they were never told, even when the matters reappeared in the Cairns District Court in January 2012. Sharyn Cicolini is currently out on bail to look after the couple's five children, but her husband is in custody in Perth. Mr Shadgett argued for Clifford Cicolini to be granted bail so the couple could surrender to Queensland authorities, therefore voiding the extradition warrant. He said they had $30,000 in the bank for bail and while Mr Cicolini was in custody, the livestock he was in charge of as a truck driver, were put at risk. So you want to challenge a Queensland District Court judge's warrant in a WA Magistrates Court? Magistrate Smith said. "There's unresolved charges which means they have to go back," Mr Smith said. During the hearing, WA police said it was also unclear if the Cicolinis left NSW for WA too soon after they were granted parole. Police fought the bail application saying the couple were deemed a flight risk. Mr Smith denied Mr Cicolini bail, but did not revoke his wife's, allowing her to fly to Queensland during the school holidays to surrender. Clifford Cicolini will next appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on October 11 for mention. Depending on the outcome of Sharyn Cicolini's surrender to Queensland police, her husband's extradition warrant may still go to a hearing on October 31.
