Mick Gatto in Vic court over gun charges

Gangland identity Mick Gatto has briefly fronted a Melbourne court.

The 60-year-old, who is on bail, faces a series of firearms charges over alleged offending in February.

He appeared in the Heidelberg Magistrates Court, which was sitting in Melbourne, but his matter was quickly adjourned on Wednesday morning.

Gatto, of Lower Plenty, smiled politely at reporters on his way out of court, but declined to comment.

He is charged with possessing a firearm and ammunition without a licence, and possessing an unregistered firearm.

Gatto will front court for further mention on July 25.
