Confidential Police Files Found in Drug Raid [AUS]
    #13262930 - 09/29/10 04:18 AM (13 years, 7 months ago)

ASIO files found in drug raid
September 29, 2010 - The Age .com.au

A CACHE of secret files stolen from ASIO and police and anti-corruption agencies has been discovered during a drug raid in Melbourne, raising fears of a major breach of national security and crime intelligence.

Police are investigating whether the former head of intelligence and phone tapping at Victoria's Office of Police Integrity stole the documents.

The files were discovered on September 10 by detectives searching a house in Melbourne's north as part of a drug investigation.

They found boxes containing sensitive national security and law enforcement documents, including files from ASIO, the OPI and West Australian police.

The suspected criminal whose home was raided is believed to be in a relationship with the former OPI official suspected of taking the documents. The former official previously worked for the Victoria Police and the West Australian Anti-Corruption Commission. It is unclear how long the pair have been in a relationship.

The Age believes many of the documents contain information that may pose a threat to sources used by the agencies. The files also contain specific details on highly sensitive operational matters.

As Australia's principal intelligence agency, ASIO gathers information about any threats to national security, including terrorist activity and espionage. ASIO and law enforcement agencies, including the OPI, have strict protocols guarding the storage of such documents.

It is believed the former official under investigation was the OPI's chief intelligence officer between 2004 and 2007.

After secondments to Corrections Victoria and the Department of Justice, the official returned to the OPI in 2008 and ran its electronic collections unit until early last year. This provided access to all the agency's phone tapping of suspected corrupt police, criminals and other targets.

The official, who left the OPI in November 2009, was subjected to intensive security vetting at ASIO and the OPI.

A well-placed source familiar with the official's role at the OPI told The Age that the official ''had access to everything''.

The discovery of the documents and their alleged connection to a former OPI figure will embarrass the agency. The OPI has previously savaged Victorian police officers- including former police union chief Paul Mullett and former assistant commissioner Noel Ashby- over the alleged mishandling of sensitive information.

Several OPI reports and inquiries have criticised the force for failing to prevent the theft and leaking of sensitive documents.

In a statement yesterday, the OPI confirmed police had discovered OPI documents in the possession of a former employee, as well as documents from other agencies where the officer had worked. ''OPI has undertaken a full security and risk assessment. So far as OPI is aware, there has been no compromise of any OPI operation.''

A Victoria Police spokeswoman confirmed ''the discovery of a range of documents'' when a drug warrant was executed at a house in Melbourne's north. ''A small number of these documents belong to the OPI. Victoria Police is currently working with the OPI to investigate this matter,'' she said.

WA opposition MP Margaret Quirk, a former lawyer with the National Crime Authority, said the security breach could breed mistrust between agencies. ''Some of the stolen documents appear to relate to informants and that is very sensitive information regarding people who may still be under threat''.

The discovery of the files follows the 2008 leaking of Victoria Police surveillance squad dossiers to criminals, compromising drug investigations.

In August, The Age revealed a separate case of police leaks involving a New South Wales police analyst allegedly leaking files to the Comancheros motorcycle gang.
