Comancheros attempted to muscle into construction sites, inquiry hears
The CFMEU inquiry has heard evidence from intelligence agencies that the outlaw motorcycle gang the Comancheros sought to set up its own construction companies in Queensland.
The Comancheros outlaw motorcycle gang allegedly tried to infiltrate construction sites in Queensland by installing union delegates and establishing their own companies in the sector, a CFMEU inquiry has heard. Senior Counsel Assisting Eddy Gisonda KC revealed that the gang had already set up construction industry companies in Victoria, with Victoria-based members traveling to Queensland in early 2024 with the intention of achieving these objectives.
Intelligence agencies received reports about the Comancheros in May 2024, indicating their efforts to expand their influence in the Queensland construction industry.
