Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog will soon release the findings of one of its most controversial investigations, into allegations of crooked land deals involving councillors and a property developer in Melbourne’s south-east.
The Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (Ibac) investigation, Operation Sandon, was sparked by reports in the Age in late 2018 and allegations that John Woodman – a multimillionaire planning consultant and developer – was improperly influencing councillors in the City of Casey in an effort to get projects approved. Woodman has denied wrongdoing.
