NRL橄榄球运动员Brandon Smith面临的内幕交易指控已被撤回。[1]检控方表示无法继续推进该案件，理由是相关信息可能通过位于新南威尔士州的手机信号塔传输，不构成昆士兰州犯罪。[1]该指控涉及Smith在2025年7月2日向关联人士泄露南悉尼兔子队首发阵容信息用于下注，涉及赌注金额为200澳元，赔率91:1，潜在回报超过18,000澳元。[1]
Smith仍需面对其他指控。[1]他被控在2025年6月7日在Currimundi向悉尼公鸡队球员Victor Radley供应可卡因。[1]Smith于2025年8月被警方询问后被释放，其后继续参加比赛。[1]Victor Radley未被控告任何罪行。[1]该案件由昆士兰州Taskforce Maxima负责调查。[1]
Brandon Smith, a prominent National Rugby League player, has had an insider-betting charge against him withdrawn due to insufficient evidence. [1] Prosecutors indicated they could not prove that Smith disclosed the South Sydney Rabbitohs' starting lineup to an associate for betting purposes on July 2, 2025, determining that the relevant information may have been transmitted via mobile phone tower signals located in New South Wales rather than Queensland, thereby falling outside Queensland jurisdiction. [1]
The contested bet involved 200 Australian dollars at odds of 91 to 1, with potential winnings exceeding 18,000 dollars. [1] Mobile phone tower data indicated the information transmission likely occurred in New South Wales, which complicated the prosecution's case. [1] Smith remains facing a separate charge related to supplying cocaine to Sydney Roosters player Victor Radley on June 7, 2025, in Currimundi. [1] Victor Radley has not been charged with any offense. [1] Smith was questioned by police in August 2025 and subsequently released, allowing him to continue playing. [1] The investigation was conducted by Queensland's Taskforce Maxima. [1]
