Calabrian Links to the Gold Coast

In 2009, court documents from the Crime and Misconduct Commission were leaked from Project Aurum, an "intelligence assesment" which revealed investigations from as far back as 2003 into a group of shady businessman from the southern states of Australia who had bought into the Gold Coast tourism industry over the last decade. Amongst several figures whom obtained various licenced properties depite serious criminal records, was an alleged "ringleader" whose links to certain Calabrian figures was left univestigated by Federal Police. The figure was linked to businessman Pietroantonio Cerullo, who recieved large amounts of cocaine inside stone blocks in what was revealed as part of an Ndrangheta trafficking operation in Australia's fifth largest cocaine seizure to date.
