URGENT UPDATE: The hierarchy of the New South Wales Police Force is in turmoil following raids on the homes of several high-ranking officers over allegations of accepting sex worker services from a Sydney brothel owner. The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) executed search warrants on at least three senior officers’ residences last week, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing investigation.
The LECC has not disclosed details about the raids, stating that revealing information could compromise their ongoing work. “Disclosing information about a current complaint or investigation may jeopardize how our work progresses,” the LECC said, emphasizing their obligation under confidentiality laws.
This shocking development comes amid reports that CCTV footage from a decade ago allegedly shows at least two senior officers visiting the Stiletto Brothel in Camperdown, which was owned by notorious gambler Eddie Hayson. Sources claim these officers received free services during their visits. Hayson, 57, is currently facing serious drug charges and is awaiting trial for allegedly supplying large quantities of prohibited drugs.
The LECC’s investigation signifies a potential crisis for the NSW Police Force, raising questions about integrity and accountability within its ranks. There have been no allegations of misconduct against Hayson or the officers involved, but the implications of these raids are substantial.
The officers’ alleged connections to Hayson have sparked concern, especially given a 2017 complaint to the Professional Standards Command that detailed claims of senior officers attending “drug and sex parties” at Hayson’s premises. The atmosphere within the police force is reportedly one of anxiety as senior officials fear potential exposure from past gatherings.
Hayson’s legal troubles deepened after a major drug bust linked him to a suitcase containing 16 kilograms of methamphetamine and 5 kilograms of MDMA transported from Sydney to Perth in August 2023. He had previously been granted bail after spending a year in custody, following his February 2024 arrest as part of Strike Force Maimura, which targeted organized crime groups using private planes for drug trafficking.
In a troubling context, Hayson has claimed in past interviews that influential figures, including judges and police, frequented his brothel, stating, “Word of mouth is a very powerful tool.” His comments raise serious questions about the extent of connections between law enforcement and criminal enterprises.
As this story develops, the focus remains on the LECC’s findings and any additional repercussions for the implicated officers. The NSW Police Force is under increasing scrutiny, and further revelations could potentially reshape public trust in law enforcement.
