IBAC held public hearings in May 2022 into allegations of serious misconduct by a long-standing Victoria Police officer.
The public hearings were part of Operation Bredbo, an IBAC investigation into allegations that a member of Victoria Police exploited and misused their position as a police officer for reward to improperly influence people who were involved in commercial disputes or civil litigation.
The hearings also examined allegations that the officer engaged in misconduct through maintaining improper associations and relationships and misusing police information.
The scope and purpose of the public hearings were to investigate:
The hearings were conducted by IBAC's Commissioner The Honourable Robert Redlich AM QC and Deputy Commissioner Stephen Farrow. Counsel assisting were Catherine Boston and Sophie Molyneux of the Victorian Bar.
Anyone with credible information relevant to the investigation is encouraged to report it or phone 1300 735 135.
