Search warrants seen by this masthead show officers were authorised under the Crimes Act to search for “documents concerning any submarine deal”.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission has raided the homes of Bruce Lehrmann and his former media adviser, John Macgowan, to investigate allegations the pair shared top-secret submarine contracts.
The warrant stated the Commonwealth had reasonable grounds for suspecting it could reveal evidence of two charges of abuse of public office and two charges of complicity and common purpose. Lehrmann’s search warrant also requested documents relating to “any submarine deal, program or procurement”. “The NACC’s conspiracy theory about secret French submarines and spy games is just another wild character assassination attempt against Bruce,” she said.
