Detectives from the Echo Taskforce have charged four people as part of an investigation into conspiracy offences linked to the Comachero Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang (OMCG).
A 43-year-old Lysterfield man and a 45-year-old Cranbourne North woman were arrested yesterday and subsequently charged with conspiracy to dishonestly cause a loss to the commonwealth.
Both were bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 23 November.
The Australian Federal Police National Anti Gangs Squad yesterday arrested a 58-year-old Mount Martha man in Queensland and he has also been charged with conspiracy to dishonestly cause a loss to the Commonwealth.
The man appeared at Maroochydore Magistrates' Court where he was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 30 November.
A 64-year-old Kew man was arrested earlier today and has also been charged with conspiracy to dishonestly cause a loss to the Commonwealth.
He was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 23 November.
These arrests form part of an ongoing investigation into business enterprises and services linked to the Comanchero OMCG.
The investigation was initially commenced over three years ago and involved a significant number of warrants across Melbourne on 21 March, 2018.
Police will allege that between 2014 and 2018 the four people charged hid assets to avoid a tax debt.
