Cops raid CFMEU headquarters
- On Wednesday, police raided the CFMEU headquarters in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, while Taskforce Hawk detectives executed multiple raids in Victoria, resulting in three arrests in a cross-border corruption investigation.
- The cross-border operation involves Queensland and Victorian detectives investigating allegations that union officials were corrupted, revealing how efforts to uncover crime in the Construction Industry have become a borderless effort.
- According to search warrants, authorities allege officials sought to corrupt a member of a registered trade union; detectives investigated allegations of secret commissions, fraud, and drug trafficking at the union.
- A CFMEU spokesperson stated the union "has been made aware of a police investigation this morning and will cooperate fully," with suspected offending allegedly occurring in Queensland and NSW.
- The Queensland commission of inquiry into the CFMEU is due to resume next month, with these raids expected to inform that ongoing inquiry and the coming Victorian royal commission.
