Police raid Victorian CFMEU headquarters as five arrested in corruption probe
Detectives have raided the CFMEU’s Victorian headquarters in Melbourne as part of an investigation into alleged corruption.
The Eastern Cape police have made three additional arrests in connection with the murder of former world champion boxer Zolani Tete, raising the total number of suspects in custody to four. The 38-year-old Tete was fatally shot on August 21 in NU 17, Mdantsane, while waiting for his gate to open. The first suspect was apprehended on August 22 in KuGompo City, followed by three more on August 23 - one in Mdantsane and two in Scenery Park.
Brigadier Nobuntu Gantana, a police spokesperson, confirmed the arrests. One of the suspects arrested earlier was found to be 27 years old, not 22 as previously reported. The 22-year-old suspect has been formally charged with murder and attempted murder and is set to appear in court on August 24. The other three suspects are also expected to appear in court soon.
A 27-year-old female passenger was wounded in the attack and remains hospitalized. The police have released a 30-year-old man who was initially apprehended on August 22 and stated that he remains a potential witness. More arrests are anticipated as the investigation continues. Tete, a successful boxer with 34 professional fights, was fatally shot by two armed men in balaclavas as he sat in his car.
He sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on the scene. The woman he was traveling with also suffered multiple gunshot wounds and is hospitalized. The police have cautioned against speculation and unverified information, emphasizing the need to uphold the integrity of the investigation and court proceedings.
