Melbourne identity Mick Gatto and his wife Cheryl have been arrested during dramatic raids at their home on Wednesday. The arrests are understood to be part of an investigation into construction industry corruption led by Victoria Police's Taskforce Hawk.
Arrests and Investigation
A police spokeswoman confirmed that detectives raided the couple's home on the Mornington Peninsula as part of an inquiry into 'alleged financial offences'.
'Two people at the address, a man and a woman both in their 70s, were arrested and are being interviewed by police,' she told the Herald Sun. 'Further information will be released later today,' she added.
The investigation, dubbed Taskforce Hawk, has been targeting corruption within the construction sector, and the arrests mark a significant development in the case.
More details are expected to emerge as the police interview continues.
