Phillip Caccamo, a former Victoria building assessor, pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office after admitting to accepting bribes totaling up to $75,000 to approve builder registrations.
The scheme, uncovered by the IBAC, involved secret coaching via encrypted apps, falsified assessments, and manipulated assignments, with $707,950 in cash found in his home.
A co-accused coordinator received nearly $40,000 in illicit deposits.
Caccamo’s defence cited mental health issues, but the judge rejected this, emphasizing his active role.
