‘It is suspected members of the syndicate own or control approximately $12 million in assets,’ an Australian Federal Police statement said.
The statement also confirmed the seized assets are subject to Commonwealth restraining orders made under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
AFP officers searched homes in Aberfeldie, Delahey, Footscray, Maidstone, Maribyrnong, St Albans, Sunshine North, Truganina and Yarraville.
One Aberfeldie resident, who declined to be named, told 9News they had previously noticed something odd about the home that was raided.
‘It looks like a normal house, but really there’s something more sinister going on in there,’ they said.

Another local resident said when the raid took place she and her husband were suspicious drugs were involved.
‘My husband got home and he said to me oh look the house next door is full of cops,’ she said. ‘Literally we thought straight away it had to be drugs or something.’
Police are continuing their investigations.
