Underworld Figure and Woman Arrested After Melbourne Raid
Taskforce Hawk detectives seized boxes and interviewed two people in their 70s as part of a financial offences probe, police said.
- On Wednesday, Victoria Police arrested Mick Gatto and his wife at their Mount Martha home after detectives from Taskforce Hawk executed a search warrant as part of an investigation into alleged financial offences.
- Taskforce Hawk, a unit established to probe criminal behaviour in the construction sector, led the operation. Authorities confirmed the raid formed "part of a current investigation into alleged financial offences."
- Geoffrey Watson previously outlined a "Gatto extortion model" in a report to the Queensland Royal Commission into the CFMEU, though Gatto denied allegations that he had "damaged the building industry."
- Gatto filed defamation proceedings earlier this year in the NSW Supreme Court over accusations he was a "murderous member of the mafia" in a segment on Nine's 60 Minutes.
- Two people, both in their 70s, are being interviewed by police following the arrests, with Victoria Police indicating that further information will be released later today.
