Philip Egglishaw, aged 68, is the man who’s been called the “Bowler-hat Englishman” and the mastermind behind Australia’s most extensive tax evasion scheme.
Financial advisor Egglishaw is accused of absconding or spending all of Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan’s £22million fortune after helping the Australian film star conceal his earnings through offshore tax havens.
In 2004, he fled Australia and was found living in Geneva. Locals claimed that they had only seen the Englishman walking his dog.
In 2017, he was detained after being issued an Interpol red notice for trying to vacation in Italy. Egglishaw was released from the money laundering case that he faced in 2017 after it collapsed.

Egglishaw is originally Jerseyan and ran his firm Strachans in Switzerland from the 1990s.
But in 2003, Australian tax inspectors found evidence that his £200m ‘tax efficient’ schemes breached the law, after searching his five-star hotel room in Sydney.
When Egglishaw’s laptop was seized, it revealed names of numerous wealthy clients taking part in a tax evasion scam totaling 2.2billion Australian dollars. He had already fled to Switzerland by that time.
Operation Wickenby is a joint investigation between the Australian Crime Commission & the Australian Tax Office. This revealed that Strachans set up fake businesses for high-earners. They sent cash offshore with fake invoices which were later used to obtain tax deductions.
As of now, the inquiry has uncovered approximately 2.3 Billion Australian Dollars in tax debts. It also led to 46 individuals being convicted.
