A Queensland inquiry is currently investigating the CFMEU for suspected widespread corruption, the use of organized crime methods, and potential tax evasion.

昆士蘭州的一項調查目前正在針對 CFMEU 進行調查，懷疑其存在大規模貪污、使用有組織犯罪手段以及可能逃稅。

The inquiry has included testimony from Professors Federico Varese and Paolo Campana, who are experts in organized crime from Oxford and Cambridge Universities. They are analyzing whether the CFMEU operates as a 'criminal governance' group. Professor Varese emphasized that the alleged use of threats, violence, and the manipulation of labor agreements to keep out competitors is typical of such groups. Furthermore, he pointed to a possible agreement with a police association, which would suggest that state institutions failed to stop industrial disputes, allowing the union to control specific areas.

該調查包括了牛津大學與劍橋大學的有組織犯罪專家 Federico Varese 教授與 Paolo Campana 教授的證詞。他們正在分析 CFMEU 是否作為一個「刑事治理」團體運作。Varese 教授強調，據稱利用威脅、暴力以及操縱勞工協議以排除競爭對手，是此類團體的典型特徵。此外，他指出可能與警察協會達成了協議，這表明國家機構未能阻止工業糾紛，導致工會得以控制特定區域。

At the same time, the commission is examining the union's financial structure. Legal experts are investigating how leadership roles overlap between the CFMEU and its connected organizations. The inquiry wants to find out if moving money through these channels broke laws regarding corporations, competition, or trusts. Additionally, the legal team is checking if the union's assets were used for things outside its official goals. If this is true, the union could lose its tax-exempt status. Forensic accountants have already found a network of related groups that sent money back to the union through shared officials.

與此同時，委員會正在審查該工會的財務結構。法律專家正在調查 CFMEU 及其關聯組織之間領導職位的重疊情況。調查旨在查明透過這些渠道轉移資金是否違反了有關公司、競爭或信託的法律。此外，法律團隊正在核查該工會的資產是否被用於非官方目標。若屬實，該工會可能會失去其免稅地位。法證會計師已經發現了一個相關團體網絡，透過共同官員將資金轉回工會。

The commission is continuing to review these claims to decide if new laws are needed to stop the financial stability of such organizations.

委員會將繼續審查這些指控，以決定是否需要新法律來阻止此類組織的財務穩定性。
