A Moonee Valley councillor will face court in March on drug possession charges, according to an exclusive report today from the Herald Sun.
Cr Jacob Bettio was charged after a search of his property in August as part of an IBAC investigation into the council’s relationship with the Essendon Royals Soccer Club.
The report states that Cr Bettio was one of three councillors whose homes were searched.
It’s alleged that the search of Cr Bettio’s property uncovered evidence of drug activity.
