CFMEU Raid and M6 Crash Trigger Organised Crime Probes
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Police are targeting union corruption and a fatal road crash as linked to broader organised crime networks, signaling a crackdown on hidden illicit economies.
💡 Why it matters
These arrests expose union-connected profiteering and criminality that erode public trust in construction and threaten road safety through violent networks.
Two men were charged as Victorian police raided the CFMEU headquarters, seizing drugs, guns, and cars over secret commissions, fraud, and drug trafficking. Separately, twelve people were arrested in the UK after a crash killed seven, including two police officers, leading to an organised crime investigation.
