About this episode

There’s been a major development this week for the appeal hopes of one of the country’s most notorious criminals.

Tony Mokbel, who became a household name during Melbourne’s gangland wars in the early noughties, could soon walk free, after a judge ruled his lawyer had perverted the course of justice by feeding information to the police in the lead up to his arrest.

So how likely is it that his case, and a number of others, will be overturned?

Veteran crime journalist Adam Shand joins Sacha Barbour Gatt on this episode of The Briefing to explain.
