AFP raid Melbourne home of former CFMEU official
Australian Federal Police officers have raided the home of a former senior official of the militant construction union as part of their probe into corruption in Victoria's building industry.
At least half a dozen officers and a sniffer dog arrived at former CFMEU official John Perkovic's Keilor home in Melbourne's northern suburbs early this morning.
Police could be seen searching items in the house's backyard and under a black Range Rover SUV parked in the driveway.
Mr Perkovic left the house a short time later.

Mr Perkovic was a CFMEU organiser for more than a decade in the union's Victorian branch when it was led by John Setka.
He was promoted to second in charge after the union was placed under administration in 2024, amid accusations of widespread wrongdoing.
However, he was dismissed in October 2025 after allegations of corruption against him were exposed in the media.
