According to sources, Ghahraman is understood to have been accused of shoplifting during the festive season from exclusive Auckland clothing store Scotties Boutique in Ponsonby, in the electorate of fellow Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick. The store declined to provide specific details when contacted by ZB Plus but confirmed the alleged incident was being handled by police. A political commentator says, whether true or not, the prominent Green Party MP and human rights lawyer’s reputation will be tarnished following the accusations. Political commentator Brigitte Morten told Newstalk ZB this morning it will be difficult for Ghahraman to rebuild her reputation.
