This shows what occurs when there is no compliance with the required Legislation.
Also it should be noted that "top investigator" Mark Standen was jailed for 22 years in 2011. Clearly it should be asked who at the NSW Crime Commission turned a blind eye to the corruption
Also how many complaints about the Crime Commission were fucked over by the NSW Ombudsman.
ANYTHING SOUND FAMILIAR????
The chief solicitor at the NSW Crime Commission Mr John Giorgutti and the crime Commission's boss Phillip Bradley had unfortunately misinterpreted the Legislation.
However, Jerrol Cripps QC, former Judge at the Supreme Court, former Head of NSW ICAC , Acting Police Integrity Commissioner to name some found there was no misconduct or corrupt conduct and their misconduct was genuinely done ( whatever the fuck that means)
It only goes to prove my point that Supreme Court Judges like to wank their own cocks too.
The similarities in the report tabled in the NSW Parliament this week and the Insolvency Trustee Service show that if there is no appropriate and mandatory checks done on Government Agencies there is a high probability for corruption to occur.
Matthew Osborne who is the Principal Legal Officer at ITSA has been reported to the Commonwealth Ombudsman for deliberately advising trustees how to breach the Bankruptcy Act.
However as I have already said, the Senior Assistant Ombudsman George Masri has told me the Commonwealth Ombudsman has no investigation policy. Obviously Masri also enjoys wanking his cock.
It also will be interesting when I start doing property searches on Senior Management at ITSA. It should also be particularly interesting to find out how some property was acquired
Mark William Standen remained unmoved as the jury of 11 handed down their guilty verdicts to three charges today, after a Supreme Court trial lasting almost five months.
The former assistant director of the New South Wales Crime Commission had pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to import and supply more than 300kg of the drug pseudoephedrine, used to make speed and ice.
Standen, 54, also denied using his role as a senior detective to pervert the course of justice.
The father-of-four spent 25 days in the witness box during his trial in a bid to explain the hundreds of hours of covert evidence gathered in a lengthy investigation.
He admitted discussing an "unlawful scenario" with his business partner and friend Bakhos "Bill" Jalalaty, that would involve the importation of drugs in a shipment of rice - but he never believed his buddy was serious.
However he also admitted telling plenty of lies - especially to AFP investigators during a four-hour interview done shortly after his arrest on June 2, 2008.
The Crown alleged Standen's relationship with British-born informant James Henry Kinch, became corrupt, leading to the pair joining with legitimate businessman Bakhos "Bill" Jalalaty to stage the daring operation.
The Crown claimed Standen, motivated by a "dire" financial state thanks to gambling and other debts, had agreed to help Kinch import the drugs for a significant slice of the profits.
Jalalaty's legitimate business, Crown Prosecutor Tim Game SC argued, provided an authentic "front" for the illegal drug operation.
The jury's verdict ended a trial that was originally estimated to last about two months - but instead went for close to five. The case was beset with delay, frustration and controversy, with jurors at one stage threatening mutiny.
In a letter to the trial judge and lawyers for both sides, the jurors detailed the heavy impact the trial was having on their lives, as it entered the 15th week - with no end in sight.
Standen, who has been in protective custody for the past three years, now faces life in jail.
Dressed in the prison greens that will now be his uniform until at least 2024, Standen sat impassively in the dock of the Supreme Court as Justice James spent nearly two hours detailing his plot with former food wholesaler Bakhos "Bill" Jalalaty and his one-time informant and drug trafficker James Kinch.
BUT for a single-page fax sent from a kiosk north of Amsterdam, the life and crimes of Mark Standen would never have been known.
Justice James said Standen was motivated by growing debts to take part in the plot that stood to earn him millions of dollars. At a sentencing hearing for Standen last month, Crown Prosecutor Tim Game SC said "it was hard to conceive a more grave breach of trust", given his senior position at the NSW Crime Commission - an "abuse" that was taken into account by Justice James.
"A matter seriously aggravating the prisoner's criminality was his misuse of knowledge and contacts he had acquired in his career as a law enforcement officer and the abuse of his position with the NSW Crime Commission," the judge said.
"As an assistant director of investigations with the NSW Crime Commission, one of his duties was to investigate drug trafficking, that is, criminal conduct of the very sort in which he engaged.
"(His) motive was clearly financial gain for himself ... not for the purchase of luxury items, but to clear himself of his debts.
"I take these matters into account. However ... they afford little mitigation (because) the amount of money which the prisoner anticipated receiving as his remuneration went far beyond the amount required to pay off his debts."
Standen has been in custody since his high-profile arrest in June 2008. Backdating of his 16 year non-parole period means he will be eligible for release on June 1, 2024.
Justice James said Standen "had a long and successful career as a law enforcement officer (and) he has suffered extra-curial punishment in the loss of his career and in public disgrace and humiliation".
Standen's two brothers attended most of his long trial, and were in court yesterday to hear the final chapter.
Standen acknowledged them before he was led away by sheriffs, completing his spectacular downfall from respected senior drug investigator to convicted criminal.
