Police have raided the home of Dr Reza Adib, the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, as part of an ongoing investigation.
Officers entered the Gold Coast apartment in the Norfolk building in Burleigh Heads about 11am on Thursday, but it is not yet known what the search was related to.
A crime scene was later declared at the apartment.

Palaszczuk has been on a tour promoting her new book about her time as premier and leader of the Labor Party in Queensland.
It is not suggested the raid had anything to do with Palaszczuk.
Police were seen carrying items from the ritzy beachside apartment building on Thursday, after what appeared to be an extensive search.

Adib is a prominent surgeon, specialising in obesity procedures, who has been in a relationship with Palaszczuk since 2021 when she was still premier.
Asked on her book tour earlier this week if the two were considering getting married, Palaszczuk said it wasn’t on the cards.
“We’re very happy. Why would we?” she said.
Adib established his obesity clinic in Brisbane in 2004, and was nominated as the co-chairman of the Wesley Hospital’s Centre of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery in 2017.
In 2018, he was awarded the Surgeon of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at the Wesley.
Palaszczuk was scheduled to appear on Brisbane radio station 4BC with Gary Hardgrave at 2pm on Thursday. However, she pulled out 15 minutes before going on, and told the station she was “held up with board work”.
She arrived at the Robina Library, on the Gold Coast, on Thursday night to give a scheduled talk.
More to come.
