The 53-year-old was granted bail to receive medical treatment despite being found guilty of a plan to defraud theHe was due to front the NSW Supreme Court on Friday, when Justice Desmond Fagan was scheduled to hear an application from prosecutors to put him behind bars ahead of sentencing.

But after Alex failed to appear, Justice Fagan said he was "left with no alternative" but to issue a warrant for his arrest.READ MORE:George Alex arrives at Darlinghurst court. Darlinghurst, NSW.
