Policeman facing anti-corrupti
A SENIOR detective at the centre of a high-level Victoria Police anti-corruption taskforce investigation resigned as a police delegate a few months ago, the Police Association says.
The detective sergeant, who had been a fierce critic of the state's police watchdog, the Office of Police Integrity (OPI), resigned as a delegate due to medical problems, association secretary Paul Mullett said.
The officer is being investigated for alleged ties to a contract killer involved in Melbourne's bloody underworld war, according to media reports.
The Age newspaper said the hitman told the taskforce, codenamed Briar, that the detective gave him the address of one of his targets, male prostitute Shane Chartres-Abbott.
Senior Sergeant Mullett said that all police delegates, not just the officer in question, had been critical of the OPI.
He told ABC radio that allegations of corruption within the force must be thoroughly investigated ``as a matter of some importance and urgency''.
``Police officers, like other members of the community, enjoy the fundamental legal principles of the presumption of innocence,'' Sen Sgt Mullett said.
