Police evidence and legal arguments revealed in Antony Catalano assault case
Police allege Antony Catalano assaulted his wife, threatened to kill her and was released on bail despite claims of a protracted attack.
- On Wednesday, the Magistrates Court of Victoria released a recording from a March 13 bail hearing for ACM co-owner Antony Catalano, detailing police allegations of a sustained attack against his wife.
- Senior Constable Kiran Paramaguru alleged that a drug-affected, 59-year-old Catalano attacked Stefanie Catalano in their luxury apartment about 12:30am on March 13, threatening, 'If you scream one more time, I'll stab you to death.'
- During legal argument, defense barrister Jason Gullaci argued there were 'triable issues' regarding the incident, noting the court heard Ms Catalano had filed a 2018 police complaint that did not proceed due to insufficient evidence.
- Magistrate Rohan Lawrence released Catalano on bail, citing a lack of prior convictions, while the accused checked into rehab and said he was 'deeply ashamed and humiliated' by the charges.
- The board of ACM stated that 'violence against women is entirely against the values of our company,' as executive chairman Catalano remains on leave pending his May 11 court date.
