Australia’s anti-corruption commission has confirmed that police officers assigned to work with the Commission conducted a raid at the Federal Parliament in Canberra on Oct. 4.

However, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) declined to reveal the target or purpose of the operation, clarifying only that it did not involve “a current or former parliamentarian.”
