Court bombshell for Melissa Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti

The embattled husband of missing Sydney conwoman Melissa Caddick has just received some significant news.

The husband of Sydney conwoman Melissa Caddick has had an apprehended violence order against him dropped after publicly blaming authorities for his wife’s death.

Police sought the AVO against Anthony Koletti as a result of social media posts and songs in which he blamed the corporate regulator for his wife’s disappearance and presumed death.

The order was intended to restrict Mr Koletti from having any contact with lead investigator on the case, Isabella Allen.

The former hairdresser turned music producer created an album of music – titled Raid – waging war on ASIC investigators, including baseless claims his wife was tortured and interrogated.

Melissa Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti has had an AVO against him dropped.

Ms Caddick disappeared after an ASIC raid on the couple’s Dover Heights mansion that helped uncover a $23m Ponzi scheme she was running.

A year after her disappearance, Mr Koletti put up a poster outside ASIC’s Sydney office reading “ASIC = womanslaughter”.

He also posted accusations online blaming ASIC for his wife’s presumed death.

“An investigator at your company and her team of white collar crooks caused the death of my wife. Put an end to ‘Pre-emptive Slaughter’,” he wrote online.

According to court documents, Ms Allen was fearful that Mr Koletti’s allegedly intimidating behaviour could escalate if he was evicted from the home the couple shared so liquidators could sell it.

There is no suggestion Mr Koletti knew about Ms Caddick’s Ponzi scheme.

Court documents revealed this week that Mr Koletti was left with just $1.95 in his bank account after Ms Caddick disappeared.

In an affidavit submitted to ASIC on December 8, 2020, Mr Koletti revealed he had no income after quitting his part-time job as a hairdresser.

He explained during the early days of the pandemic the pair had agreed he would leave his job to reduce health risks and Ms Caddick would support him financially.

“At that time, (Ms Caddick), who was the primary bread winner in our family, and I had a discussion and agreed that, in order to reduce the health risk to the family, I would cease working and remain at home and attend to household duties, child care, and facilitating after school appointments,” Mr Koletti said in the affidavit.

Mr Koletti appealed to ASIC to be allowed to pay the family’s ongoing living expenses from Ms Caddick’s seized assets.

Ms Caddick used proceeds of the crime to fund a lavish lifestyle for the pair, including overseas trips, designer outfits and luxury properties.

Three months after her disappearance, a decomposed foot believed to belong to Ms Caddick was found by campers in Bournda National Park near Tathra, more than 400km south of Sydney.
