- Catalano faces eight charges, including threats to kill and assault, stemming from an alleged hour-long attack on his wife, Stefanie Catalano, at their St Kilda penthouse in March.
- Defense barrister Dermot Dann, KC, disputed allegations of strangulation and the use of an iron as "did not happen," while Stefanie has provided "statements of no complaint" to Victoria Police.
- Negotiations regarding a potential resolution continue, with the defense stating the complainant does not want the charges against Catalano to proceed "in any way, shape or form."
- The matter returns for a contest mention on December 14, while Catalano remains on leave from his leadership positions at Australian Community Media and View Media Group.
