Brierley — who shot to fame by launching takeover bids for Australian corporate giants such as Carlton & United Breweries, AGL Energy and lottery operator Tatts — was arrested at Sydney Airport yesterday, the Australian Broadcasting Corp and other media reported. He was taken to a nearby police station and charged with six counts of possessing child abuse material, NSW Police said.
He began his corporate career in 1961, starting his own investment company in his native New Zealand. By the 1980s, his company was the largest company in New Zealand by market capitalisation, before he turned his attention on Australia.
