Paul Hogan wants apology from ACC

Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan is preparing to sue his former financial adviser and is demanding an apology from the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) after it abandoned a five-year investigation into his taxes.

An angry Hoges told News Limited newspapers that after initially celebrating when the ACC dropped its case, he now wants his day in court to clear his name and recoup $10 million he says he spent defending himself.

"I wanted to be exonerated because I didn't do anything wrong and that's hard for people to believe because where there is smoke, there is fire," Hogan said.

"I have been publicly branded a criminal, a fraud, a money launderer and tax evader - I became Mr Tax Evasion."

Hogan said job offers had dried up where before he would receive lots of invitations every month for well-paying advertising work.

"Now that's been destroyed, no one calls me and I haven't spoken to my agent in months," he said.

"For five years people have been scared to deal with me for fear of being brought into the inquiry."

While the ACC is no longer on Hogan's back, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) continues looking into his tax affairs.

"It's not over ... unless they apologise, until they say `we are sorry'," Hogan said.

He said he would be suing his former adviser, John Gibb, who testified against him last year.

"If I had known that the ACC and ATO were relying so heavily on an ex-adviser who I fired 20 years ago, I could have provided them with a bit of background," he said.

The Australian Government went on a deliberate witch hunt (consequently getting it wrong) against Hogan.

Paul Hogan was then labeled a Tax Cheat.

As a result of these FALSE accusations, defamation has occurred, and consequently his ability to earn a living.

Mr. Hogan is entitled to sue for defamation, and consequential damages as a result of the DELIBERATELY false accusations.
