‘Corporate bullying’: Melbourne brothel sues bank for discrimination

Franco Puleo sued Bendigo Bank this week in Victoria's Supreme Court, claiming the lender discriminated against him by closing six accounts for his South Melbourne brothel. Bendigo says it shut the accounts to meet anti-money laundering obligations and designated sex work as high-risk. Puleo alleges the bank violated Victoria's Equal Opportunity Act and claims $900,000 in losses.
