Murder Unpunished - Killer Cops walk free (15.04.02)
The trial of three aliens police officers
The trial of three aliens police officers at the District Court in Korneuburg near Vienna is scheduled to end on the 15th of April 2002. During the violent deportation to Nigeria of Marcus Omofuma on the 1st of May 1999 the officers used adhesive tape to "fix" in his chair. He was also gagged with the same material. He suffocated while in police custody. The racist deportation policies are carried out by the police, the judiciary, politicians, airlines, commercial media and by a great majority of the people. They all have responsibility for the deportation which resulted in death.

Yes, I am a perjurer: detective comes clean.
By Neil Mercer
June 1 2002
A long-serving detective yesterday admitted giving perjured evidence in various criminal proceedings for at least 14 years.
The officer, who late last year insisted he had never been involved in any wrongdoing, told the Police Integrity Commission that for much of his 22 years in the service he was a thief, a liar, a perjurer, a perverter of the course of justice - and a criminal.
Perhaps most damaging is his evidence that he has been lying to courts since the 1980s.
The admissions of the man now codenamed F7 have serious implications for the justice system, the PIC and for the Police Service, which has already been battered and bruised by the revelations of corruption over the past seven years, first by the Wood Royal Commission and more recently by the PIC's Operation Florida.
For a start, the authorities will have to determine the court cases in which F7 says he perjured himself and see whether there has been a miscarriage of justice.
In addition, his admissions are likely to open up other lines of inquiry and extend Operation Florida, which started eight months ago and has further damaged the reputation of the state's detectives.
It is not known in which cases F7 lied, but one lawyer said the commission would be debriefing the officer, who has been on sick leave since December 1999 and is seeking a medical discharge.
Until this week he had admitted publicly to taking drug money and fabricating evidence in one operation called Let's Dance in February 1992.
Now he has agreed that during his career as a detective he became "adept at deceit".
F7, who has worked with the Major Crime Squad North, the South-West Major Crime Squad based at Flemington and at Burwood, said some people he had arrested were still in jail.
He told the PIC he joined the north crime squad in 1988 in Newcastle before moving to Chatswood in 1991. Under cross-examination, he agreed he had been giving false evidence in criminal matters before 1988.
On Monday, in a hearing that has been virtually unreported, he was questioned about his admissions by Robert Greenhill, who represents four police involved in Let's Dance.
Mr Greenhill: You agree, don't you, that you became a criminal?
F7: Yes.
You in fact became a perverter of justice? - Yes.
A thief? - Yes.
Have tampered with evidence? - Yes.
A false pretender? - Yes.
And a person who was prepared to commit perjury? - Yes.
F7, who agreed he was "a practised and an accomplished liar", insisted he was finally telling the truth.
He had talked with the PIC and the NSW Crime Commission about an indemnity for some matters but believed he would still go to jail and be dealt with harshly.
"I wouldn't like to go to jail. I believe I will, but I'm not looking forward to it."
Asked whether he would do anything dishonest to avoid imprisonment, F7 replied: "I have tried that avenue in the past, and I don't see it is working, so I have decided to tell the truth.

Weapons inquiry date for top detective.
by Viktor. 9:26pm Sun Jun 2 '02
By Alex Mitchell, Sun Herald State Political Editor
June 2 2002
The Sun-Herald
Ronnie Smith, one of the State's top homicide investigators, has an appointment with the Police Integrity Commission (PIC) this week when hearings will focus on allegations that police dumped a cache of weapons into the Hawkesbury River.
Chief Superintendent Smith, who has been on stress leave, was not involved in the weapons-dumping caper, but fellow detectives borrowed his boat to carry it out under cover of darkness.
Evidence will be given by a police "rollover" that about 100 weapons, including sawn-off shotguns, rifles and pistols, were dumped over the side into a lonely and deep stretch of the river. The officers decided to "deep-six" the cache of guns in 1995 after feeling heat from the Wood royal commission about verballing criminals and planting weapons on them.
One of the guns that went into the river was a magnum of which the chequered history in the hands of police and criminals will be pursued by PIC assistant commissioner Tim Sage, who is in charge of the Operation Florida inquiry.
"The hearings will examine the collection, retention and use of weapons and other items in acts of corruption by members of the NSW Police Service," according to a PIC statement.
The weapons inquiry, the fourth segment of Operation Florida which began last October, was scheduled for earlier this year but it was postponed when a senior detective rolled over and helped the PIC.
Mr Smith, a commander of Crime Agencies, the State's elite detectives, has already been mentioned in evidence given by a detective now carrying the codename F7. He will be asked whether he received a share of money seized by police in drug busts as claimed by F7 at the PIC on May 8.
F7, then based at Chatswood, was asked about a "divvy-up" of $40,000 in cash that took place in 1991 in the back of a van parked under Roseville Bridge.
Counsel assisting the PIC, Mark Bus-combe, asked: "Are you able to say how much you were given to give to the surveillance unit?"
F7: "No, I can't recall."
Buscombe: "What about to Mr Smith? Are you able to say how much you were given to give to Mr Smith?"
F7: "$2,000."
Mr Smith, one of the best-known detectives in the country, headed Strike Force Fenwick, which was set up by former police commissioner Peter Ryan to investigate the disappearance of three young women from Newcastle over the past 20 years
Bent cops' gun scam that backfired.
By Philip Cornford
June 5 2002
The veteran verballers from Major Crime Squad North were set to bust an armed holdup gang, Wogs Without Work, so they dumped a "load-up" gun in Middle Harbour for two weeks to "let it age".
"I threw it in," the boss of the squad, then Senior Sergeant Dennis "Doodles" O'Toole, boasts on an undercover tape-recording. "I marked the spot on a certain rock."
Two weeks later, a suspect, P2, was taken to the location and photographed allegedly confessing and showing police where he had ditched the gun under the Roseville Bridge.
But P2 was both loaded up and verballed - the gun in fact came from an illegal stash kept by a crooked officer who is talking freely to the Police Integrity Commission.
Yesterday, this officer, N1, named eight detectives apart from himself - the entire armed holdup unit - who he said kept secret gun caches and used them to load up suspects.
They include Inspector Kim Dowding, who is on sick leave, the undercover officer M5, who has turned informer, Sergeant Jim King, Senior Constable Dave Patison, Dave Minehan, Greig Vicary and F7, another informer. One name was suppressed.
Mr O'Toole, who retired as a chief inspector, had "oversighted" the load-ups and verbals "to lend weight to what happened".
"To be perfectly honest, I had the most weapons and did the most loading," N1 said. But everyone did it "as a team".
The illegal stashes were later cleaned out by Inspector Dowding, who admitted dumping the weapons in the Hawkesbury River near the Brooklyn Bridge with M5 in 1995, fearing investigators from the police royal commission, then sitting.
N1 said Wogs Without Work was a gang of "young thugs" dealing in drugs and menace in Chatswood who "decided they wanted to be gangsters and do armed robberies".
The armed holdup unit decided to load them up because "we believed that they could become a very dangerous team capable of murdering someone during a robbery".
"I'm not justifying anything. I'm quite happy I did it."
The day after a robbery they decided to act. "I believe it was my idea," N1 said. A gun was taken from his stash and dropped in Middle Harbour "to age it".
Two weeks later, on August 15, 1990, they busted the gang. N1 said N5 was "easy peasy, yes sir, I did it". B6 "signed up after being heavily spoken to ... I've been told he was assaulted". P2, who "we thought was going to be the easiest, turned out to be the hardest".
P2 was taken to the Roseville Bridge, photographed, verballed and charged - but two attempts by police divers failed to find the dumped gun. The "gun diver" was called in and found the weapon, which had "slipped under a rock".
Asked if load-ups were done frequently, N1 said: "Whenever necessary." If a suspect told them "to get stuffed, we had our weapons with us".

Endured a six-hour ordeal involving 14 men ... the victim outside the court. Photo: Edwina Pickles
Two waved and smiled. Two got into a fight, one was led from the courtroom in a headlock.
That was how four young men greeted the guilty verdict yesterday for their part in the kidnap and gang rape of an 18-year-old woman in Sydney's west on August 30, 2000.
As they left the dock after being convicted, two of the men grinned and waved at family members, another of them pushed the fourth, the pair scrapping until a court officer put one in a headlock.
The woman's ordeal began when she was surrounded by five teenagers on a train from Belmore to Lidcombe. It ended more than six hours later after she had been sexually assaulted more than 20 times by a total of 14 men at three locations in Bankstown and Chullora.
It can now be revealed that two of the men - one now 20, one 19 - were convicted by another jury last December for their part in the sexual assault of two schoolgirls on August 10, just 20 days earlier. They have yet to be sentenced for that attack.
The girls were lured from Chatswood to a Greenacre Park where they were forced to perform oral sex on eight men. In circumstances similar to the case for which the four were convicted yesterday, the girls were persuaded to go with the men - all of Lebanese descent - to smoke some marijuana, and were then assaulted.
In both trials the victims were Caucasian women, but Judge Michael Finnane had cautioned the jury in the latest trial that they were "not trying a class of persons or a race".
"You have to put aside any view that you might have ... about Muslims, either favourable or unfavourable because this court is not concerned with a political trial," he said. "We are trying individual people who may happen to have a particular ethnic background and particular religious conviction."
The NSW District Court jury deliberated for 2 days before handing down guilty verdicts for the four on 15 counts of detaining for sexual advantage and aggravated rape.
They could not reach a verdict on one count of anal rape against one of the accused, for which Judge Finnane ordered a retrial. He remanded the four in custody and will set a sentence date next week. The maximum penalty for aggravated sexual assault at the time the crimes were committed is 20 years. It was raised to 25 years last year.
Throughout the six-week trial, the swagger and bravado of the four had been evident as they clicked their fingers from the dock, demanding their lawyers or the attention of family members and girlfriends, who attended court most days and who yesterday maintained their disbelief in the men's guilt.
In evidence from the unswerving victim, the jury heard of the men's callousness and indifference as the woman, now 20, endured the series of attacks.
She was told by the first man who raped her at a Bankstown car park toilet block "I'm going to f--k you Leb-style", and the men at various times called her "Aussie pig". At one point, a gun was held to her head as she was driven to a Chullora industrial site where the final attacks occurred.
As each wave of attacks ended, she was promised she would be taken home, and that her new mobile phone the men had taken from her would be returned. Having got off the train with the five about 4pm, the woman was finally dropped at Lidcombe railway station about 10pm.
Evident also throughout the trial was the disdain from particularly the female members of the men's families, and their friends, disdain brought into focus when the mother of two of the four men, who are brothers, made a spitting noise as the victim walked by outside the courtroom yesterday.

Brian Scott Palliser. An alleged, practised and an accomplished liar.

OPEN EMAIL, TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON, Brian Scott Palliser, and Partners at hill-lee [at] chch.planet.org.nz
Background: On the 13.9.1999, at about 4 pm AUS time a New Zealander Mr. Graham/Graeme Underwood receives a phone call at the Emus Motel, from Brian of 'Horton & Bidwill' Christchurch Lawyers. Underwood since claims 'I am from Christchurch, and have never heard of Horton & Bidwill being lawyers in Christchurch.
An x Tip Top Ice Cream driver claims that Horton & Bidwill were general carries in Christchurch during the fifties and sixties. The Horton & Bidwill usage, was a word association try on which failed, although extremely, exceptionally cunning.
Brian your enquiry 'was Julie about regarding a fax she had sent you'. A phone account will be sufficient proof that Brian, and Brian Palliser is one in the same person. Not anticipated any other person in the office would have impersonated you. Graham/Graeme Underwood redirected you Brian to Pam the overall manager at the Classic. That evening Pam receives a call from Brian of Horton & Bidwill.
Christchurch lawyers. Question, ‘Was Julie providing a fax service for H-W, and was there a relationship between them'.
Days later Pam receives a further phone call, the caller claiming, 'it is Scotland Yard here', inquiring about H-W. Incidentally, he has never visited the Classic Motel. If the caller had said, 'the family’ meaning the Mafia, would make one reach for a scotch. The incoming caller numbers were not displayed, so an off shores call.
The Christchurch courts are using Clear communications, shows the countries incoming calls originate.
After your behaviour, and if a dozen or so faxes sent to Hill-Lee & Scott in New Zealand constitute Harassment, ‘American slang’ plus an arrival arrest, then it follows; your letter to legal aid, was to besmirch the person H-W and your email is actionable by your identification of H-W in the country of receipt. We await the outcome of a huge legal case that manly concerns the news media... I understand you TT NZD 98 Thousand off shore for your client. Aiding and abetting.
Where such a revelation made in their country, would be deemed an invasion of their privacy. To breach the privacy of an individual is inherently unfair to that person as no court action was underway and published. We are not bound by any such internet constraints, against guttersnipes of our choosing.
Brian of Horton & Bidwill Christchurch lawyers, phoned the Emus Motel on the 13th October 1999. Julie had faxed Hill-Lee & Scott on behalf of a client. The fax machine used was their own business link up, not a motel owned fax... Header usually 333, just ask Jack Cowey at,

Maurice Gordon Teague visited the Emus Motel on the 6/9/1999. Was just prior to the above date, of the ‘Brian’ of Horton & Bidwill of Christchurch lawyers call on the 13th Oct at 4 pm AUS. Since your email claiming aliases, in another country was located at a web cafes drop tray, the page was already in the public arena, are circulating. You have proof, or an UNMITIGATED fabricator.
Maurice Teague threatens the Emus motel manager, and may have passed on the motel name to Brian Palliser. Your first wife walked with NZD 50,000.00, who saw through you and in to your pocket. Vic warned you to stay away from his inheritance. What did you do, you went and finished of the legal matters for Teague. Guess someone in the office was more knowable than those ‘dogs’ at the revenue department, and slid something past, as it worked for M & M Teague. We both know this score.
There was an email, Hill-lee & Scott to Interpol, was read but lost before downloading, taken as a forgery and frightener. You might as well stand on the beach and tell the waves not to come in.
Palliser you breached the conflict of interest by failing to advise your client, you gave skiing lessons to the Teague's daughter. Holding hands, just look at it 'as thick as thieves'.
A fax setting out your motel phone calls, from the USA to Twin Towns typing then on to Hill-Lee & Scott. A reply to this service from Hill-Lee & Scott. ‘If any more faxes are received, a formal complaint will be laid with the telecommunications company’. A great pity Vic knocks on the wrong door, and throws away $10,000.00 on your “rats-arse” firm for nothing.
Palliser, when you phoned to check on the fax senders, you were in fact working on the harassment fraud.
You certainly have displayed low cunning and in addition, should not to be trusted. A manipulating thug style type. What ever you were injecting, yourself with at work, increase the dose substantially seeing that it will be your only defence. A detective warns Vic 'not to contact Brian Palliser's wife' but we shall. The detectives order to Vic, ties it all in together.
Guess there was, some fear of a reprisal over 'was there a relationship' call to the Classic motel. As read, your only interest was to tell your friends at the central station, a wiretap might be fruitful. A typist gave out the easy way to track. http://www.whitepages.co.nz
It is noted, M G Teague chartered accountant of Clarkville, nor their company Mr Mushroom Ltd is phone listed, but his twin brother Ivon with an o Teague is.
Brian Palliser there is a very fine legal line between an irresistible impulse, and an impulse to be resisted. Brian Scott Palliser you have crossed over this line. Pack your bags and leave, as you are not a fit person to be a Notary Public and to practise law. Summing-up, a police informer, nark, stoolie, with malice and jealousy...
Spam or junk mail is not harassment because internet users have to opt out rather than opt in. An anti-spam activist Glenn Barry said the lawsuit threatened ‘the right to complain and the right to block junk’. A company is suing Mr. J J McNicol for making unfounded complaints by exposing them on the web. The New Zealand laws do not apply to e-mail from off shore. The sum sought is $43,000.00 Legal fees could reach $US 100,000.00. This is why “stalker” MG & ML Teague was looking for who sent mail originating inside NZ. Credibility Zilch.
You Palliser were working hand in glove with Maurice Gordon & Maude Linklater Teague “ swindlers police stoolies and stalkers, practised and accomplished liars’’ and the police. Will there be a professional collect. If Vic misses his father's funeral, it will be an interesting out come for you if a ‘wet boy' is sent in. Always makes commercial sense to tidy up ones affairs, do you not think.
Faithfully, Z Risk.
