A Head Hunters gangster could be awarded over $600,000 after taking High Court action against a Waikato council and iwi over a cancelled property deal.

Head Hunters member Ford Benjamin Moeke, who works as a machine operator in Tokoroa, is accusing the South Waikato District Council and Raukawa Iwi Development Limited (RIDL) – the commercial arm of Raukawa – of conspiring to defraud him following an eleventh-hour bid to stop him purchasing a property for apparent gang purposes.

It comes after Moeke sought to purchase a large freehold section and buildings owned by RIDL in Tokoroa’s Dumfries Rd in September 2018. Conditions were met and the property went unconditional on Friday, November 9 with settlement set for December 7.
