00:00The CFMEU's Melbourne headquarters has been raided as police investigate alleged corruption, drug trafficking and secret commissions in Victoria's construction
00:10industry.
00:11Unfortunately we just keep going through this cycle. What's the watchdog doing in relation to these people and ultimately where
00:18there's an easy dollar to be made, the criminals are going to come out and exploit it.
00:22Detectives executed warrants at six addresses and five men were arrested, with two later charged over alleged drug and firearms
00:31offences.
00:32Police seized four CFMEU registered vehicles, phones, computers, documents and other devices during the raids, while a .22 rifle was
00:44also seized from one property.
00:46The raids come as the state prepares for a royal commission into corruption and criminal conduct in the construction sector.
00:54The CFMEU, which is under administration, said it was cooperating with police and would conduct its own investigation.
