Melbourne, Australia
On 3 December 2018, the Premier of Victoria, the Hon. Daniel Andrews MP, announced that the Victorian Government would establish a Royal Commission to independently inquire into Victoria Police’s recruitment and management of a class of informants. The announcement followed decisions of the High Court of Australia, the Victorian Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Victoria, regarding a former criminal defence barrister recruited by Victoria Police as an informant.
As part of its inquiry, the Royal Commission will examine the number of, and extent to which, cases may have been affected by the conduct of Ms Nicola Gobbo, a criminal defence barrister who was, at various times between 1 January 1995 and 13 January 2009, acting as a police informant with Victoria Police. She was referred to as 'EF' in recent court cases, informant '3838' and other informant numbers by Victoria Police, and was often referred to as 'Lawyer X' in the media.
