Lawyer X royal commission recommends appointment of special investigator into Nicola Gobbo, Victoria Police officers

A special investigator should be appointed to determine if gangland barrister-turned-police informer Nicola Gobbo and police officers broke any laws when the barrister acted as a human source for Victoria Police during Melbourne’s bloody underworld war, a royal commission says.

After 129 days of public and private hearings and the evidence of 82 witnesses, the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants has made 111 recommendations.

More to come.
