WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) Executive Chairman Richard White is under an Australian federal police investigation over allegations that he coerced a former cleaner at the company into a sexual relationship, the Australian Financial Review reported Monday, citing a police report and multiple sources briefed on the matter.

The police launched the probe earlier this year following a complaint by a former executive of Kyckr, another firm White controls, alleging that White falsified information on a visa application for Caroline Heidemann, the former cleaner, according to the report.

WiseTech Global did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
