Australia - A CONSTRUCTION company co-owned by a bikie standover man with convictions for drug trafficking and unlawful weapons possession is raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in government contracts.
Scott Paton, sergeant-at-arms of outlaw club Highway 61, is a director and shareholder in Eastcoast Concrete Cutting, which is working on the Kessels Rd overpass for Main Roads and previously worked on Airport Link, the Gateway upgrade and the Boggo Rd Busway project.
The company has also won almost $300,000 worth of work from Brisbane City Council since 2008.
The revelation of further bikie involvement in Airport Link comes two years after The Courier-Mail exposed links between notorious West Australian bikie outfit Club Deroes and the project's then biggest subcontractor.
It also comes as police prepare to make the first move against bikie clubs under the Bligh Government's controversial criminal organisation laws.
