And even a $485,000 holiday for eight people from New York to Washington, Miami and Hawaii - with flights alone costing $150,000. It reads like an itinerary for the rich and famous, but the perks were just some of the alleged bribes paid to Ms Rogers between 2013 and 2017, for her alleged role in a large-scale bank fraud worth $40 million. Loading Replay Replay video Play video Play video As the then-chief of staff to the former boss of the National Australia Bank Andrew Thorburn and his predecessor Cameron Clyne, Ms Rogers allegedly accepted multiple extravagant bribes to approve bloated invoices submitted to the bank for services provided by Sydney-based events and human resources company Human Group. On Tuesday the 43-year-old travelled to Sydney from her Melbourne home to present herself to investigators at Surry Hills police station, where she became the second person to be arrested over the alleged kickbacks scam.

She has been charged with 56 counts of being an agent corruptly receiving a benefit, and dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception. It is alleged Ms Rogers' actions even impacted her own family, who contributed a portion of the cost of the $485,000 holiday to the US directly into Ms Rogers' bank account, according to bank records. The mother of two appeared via audio-visual link at Central Local Court on Tuesday afternoon, where she was granted conditional bail. A lawyer for Ms Rogers told the court she was not in a position to put forward any financial surety, but nor was she “in a position to abscond,” as a result of freezing orders placed over her personal assets by the NSW Crime Commission last year. The assets included Ms Rogers' $6.2 million property portfolio, three of her bank accounts and a $1 million NAB bank cheque.

Ms Rogers’ matter is next scheduled to be heard at Central Local Court on March 19, however she is not required to appear on that date. Her court appearance on Tuesday follows the arrest of Helen Rosamond, Human Group chief executive and Ms Rogers’ co-accused, who was apprehended at her Potts Point home on Friday last week.

Police allege Ms Rosamond was behind the various benefits paid to Ms Rogers in the four-year period, such as a $46,000 boat, which has since been seized, an almost $250,000 holiday to Fiji and multiple trips on private jets, helicopters and luxury cruises around the world.

Ms Rosamond successfully applied for bail in Central Local Court on Friday, after offering a $200,000 surety. However it was not until Monday that all documents and funds could be finalised to allow for her release. Rosemary Rogers.

Local court Magistrate Robert Williams presided over bail applications for both Ms Rosamond and Ms Rogers, describing the alleged offending behaviour “as quite a sophisticated operation." During Ms Rosamond’s bail application a lawyer for the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions told the court there was an ongoing “risk of collusion” between the two women, who had been in contact “since being made aware of the investigation” against them.
