Victoria Police has re-opened its investigation of allegations of a corrupt compulsory shutdown of Dandenong South-based caterer I Cook Foods.
ICF has claimed its 30-year-old business was improperly closed as part of a health department investigation into a hospital patient’s death in early 2019.
The two-year public stoush has been branded ‘slug-gate’, including an allegation that a council food inspector planted a live slug on the factory floor.
It has led to a Parliamentary inquiry, and the launch of a $50 million civil lawsuit by ICF against the Department of Health and Greater Dandenong Council.
As a result of the shutdown, the business was destroyed and 41 employees lost their jobs, ICF claims.
Dandenong Frontline Tactical Unit (FTU) officers have charged a man after he was found allegedly speeding on the wrong side of a highway in Koo Wee Rup.
