Melissa Caddick parents told to leave Sydney apartment

The parents of conwoman Melissa Caddick have agreed to leave their Sydney apartment after a long legal battle.

Barb and Ted Grimley will receive $950,000 to vacate the property in Edgecliff, in the city’s eastern suburbs, after being persuaded by their daughter to pay $1 for a third of ownership.

It’s the last remaining asset of Caddick’s to be sold.

Yesterday the Federal Court ordered that Caddick’s parents must leave the property within six weeks before they can receive the $950,000.

Caddick told her victims she would invest their cash, but instead created false CommSec trading accounts and faked trading documents showing profits.

She preyed mostly on her friends and family between 2013 and 2020, taking $23 million through a fraudulent scheme.

A coroner last month concluded she was dead but could not determine how or where she died.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Federal Police jointly raided Caddick’s eastern suburbs home on November 11, 2020.

Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti reported his 49-year-old wife missing two days later.
