Caddick’s partner charged with assault
The partner of the late Melissa Caddick has been charged with the assault of an elderly woman at a park not far to where she disappeared from.
Police charged Anthony Koletti with assault on the 73-year-old woman after he handed himself into Waverley Police station on Wednesday.
The alleged incident took place last Wednesday in Vaucluse.
It comes after police made an appeal for information, releasing a photograph of a man in a black Under Armour t-shirt, black cap and sunglasses.
A statement from NSW Police says the 73-year-old woman alleged she was assaulted by a man at about 5pm on Wednesday, July 23 in Lighthouse Reserve at Vaucluse.
The elderly woman did not require medical treatment.
Police made a public appeal for information on Tuesday, releasing the image of a man in a black Under Armour t-shirt, black cap and sunglasses.
Mr Koletti, 43, attended Waverley Police Station at about 6.30pm on Wednesday, and has since been charged with common assault.
He was granted conditional bail to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on September 5.
NewsWire approached Mr Koletti at the hairdressing salon where he works in Rose Bay earlier on Wednesday.
The part-time DJ and hairdresser refused to speak to our reporter and asked him to leave the salon.
Ms Caddick went missing just hours after her dover heights mansion was raided by the AFP and ASIC in November 2020.
The raid was conducted over a Ponzi scheme which she used to fleece investors of $20m to $30m.
Mr Koletti has never been charged with any crime relating to Ms Caddick’s disappearance or her criminal actions.
