Mario Alexandridis at centre of Strike Force Candice raids across Sydney

·

Marios Alexandridis, a little-known entrepreneur, has been revealed as the central figure in a major police operation targeting suspected money laundering and unexplained wealth across Sydney.

The revelation follows high-profile raids earlier this year, including at the $27 million Bellevue Hill mansion of Garrett and Stephanie Jandegian.

The Australian has reported that a police warrant for the raid was aimed at collecting evidence related to Alexandridis, not the Jandegians. There is no suggestion the Jandegians are involved in any wrongdoing.

The raids formed part of Strike Force Candice, a joint operation by the NSW Organised Crime Squad and the NSW Crime Commission. Simultaneous warrants were executed across Sydney’s east and south, including in Mosman, where Alexandridis was arrested.

Officers allegedly seized mobile phones, nearly a kilogram of cocaine, silver bullion, and over $1 million in luxury items.

Alexandridis was the only person charged in connection with the raids and is facing court next week over a charge of recklessly dealing with the proceeds of crime with intent to conceal.
