Crime and Corruption Commission executes search warrant at Bosscher Lawyers

Brisbane law firm Bosscher Lawyers was raided on Monday afternoon by the Crime and Corruption Commission.

The raid, executed at the George Street address, comes just weeks after a former lawyer at the firm, Tim Meehan, had his assets frozen following allegations he siphoned more than $160,000 in funds from the high-profile firm.

The prominent lawyer, who represented Daniel Morcombe's murderer Brett Peter Cowan, is accused of having his law clerk, Xanthe Larcombe-Weate, help him put clients' money into his own bank accounts.

The Crime and Corruption Commission confirmed it executed a search warrant at a Brisbane CBD business on Monday.
