THE arrest on murder charges of Gordon Wood, a former chauffeur of the late stockbroker Rene Rivkin, has raised more questions about an alleged $53 million insurance scam involving Mr Rivkin and his $26 million Swiss bank shareholding in printing group Offset Alpine, destroyed by fire in 2003. Mr Rivkin and Mr Wood fronted an Australian Securities Commission (now ASIC) inquiry into the shares in 1995 and two days later Mr Wood’s 24-year-old girlfriend Caroline Byrne, a confidant to financial secrets, fell to her death over a Sydney cliff. The globe-trotting Mr Wood now faces more police questioning.
