Key figures deny bikie links to Adelaide's $15.4 billion road project dispute

A motorcycle gang member rejected allegations of intimidation. A Career Boss shareholder also rejected them. The allegations involve a workers contract on a major Adelaide road project.

Civil court proceedings alleged that Jamie Brown, a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang, used intimidation and violence to gain control of Career Boss. Career Boss supplies workers to Adelaide's largest infrastructure project, the $15.4 billion Torrens to Darlington road extension.

Brown categorically denies any involvement with the company or any threats to shareholders. An unnamed Career Boss shareholder said she had never been threatened by Brown or his associates.

She described the allegations as false. The shareholder gave a formal statement to police on October 23 disputing all claims.

No criminal charges have been laid. The labour contract is understood to be worth millions of dollars.
