Police have attended the CFMEU headquarters in Brisbane, weeks after raids on the construction union’s Melbourne offices.

Queensland Police Service (QPS) confirmed officers were at the Bowen Hills building this morning. Further questions were referred to Victoria Police.

In a statement, a CFMEU spokesman said the union “has been made aware of a police investigation this morning and will cooperate fully”.

Victoria Police has been contacted.

A Queensland inquiry into alleged corruption at the union is ongoing.
