Billionaire businessman Anthony Pratt and his famous family are under fire after revelations they held a lavish party at their Melbourne mansion during a COVID-19 lockdown.
CCTV obtained by Nine newspaper The Age shows guests hiding from Victoria Police and tricking officers into believing they were not breaching the stay-at-home restrictions.
The illegal lockdown party was held at the Kew mansion of the Pratts - the wealthiest family in Victoria - on July 23 last year, when Melbourne was in the grips of its fifth lockdown.
The Age has reported the dinner was hosted by Jeanne Pratt and her son Anthony, who live on the property in separate compounds.
It was held to mark Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, and attended by up to 12 people.
Victoria Police was tipped off, with several officers sent to investigate.
They were escorted onto the property by a staff member and arrived to find an empty round table set for a large group, but no guests.
But leaked CCTV from the mansion has shown 10 guests were taken to the basement to hide.
They emerged from the basement smiling 12 minutes later - once police had left.
Billionaire businesswoman, Fiona Geminder, who is the daughter of Jeanne Pratt, was among those hiding from police.
Victoria Police has said officers spoke with residents and staff and determined no offence had been committed.
No action was taken against the Pratts.
Victoria Police told 9News it wasn't made aware of the CCTV at the time.
The statute of limitations for lockdown restrictions has since expired, meaning police can no longer take action.
Representatives for the Pratt family did not respond to requests for comment.
