The charges have been issued as part of an ongoing inquiry launched by GRNSW last December into suspected unauthorised exports of greyhounds to Macau.
Macau does not comply with Australian animal welfare standards.
GRNSW’s new investigation and intelligence unit assisted with the inquiry and compilation of evidence which has led to the issuing of the charges.
Rule 124 of the Greyhound Racing Rules require that any person intending to export a greyhound from Australia to any other country (excluding New Zealand) must, prior to meeting the quarantine and inspection service requirements of the relevant country, obtain a greyhound passport and certified pedigree issued by Greyhounds Australasia.
If found guilty, trainer and owners face fines, suspension and possible disqualification from the sport.
