 You tell me when you're ready to go and I'll kick start it. Okay, City CIB have today charged a 51 year old man in relation to an investigation of a defence submission made by a past participant, past criminal motorcycle gang member back on the 19th of December last year. That offender had previously been charged in relation to the Broad Beach riots and on the 19th of December last year he pleaded guilty and he received a sentence. During the submission to the courts that offender we will allege he has stated that he was an ex SAS Army officer who had done two tours of duty overseas whilst in the Australian defence forces. This is the second instance within a week where an ex criminal motorcycle gang participant has been before the courts charged with both attempting to pervert the course of justice and falsely pretending to be a returned soldier. Police have made contact with the Australian defence force and had those inquiries made. In relation to the the bandido participant from the Broad Beach riots it was established he had in effect done a three month basic military course which he did not complete and was not suitable to be a soldier. Is it because police became suspicious of his claims because I imagine police wouldn't conduct inquiries with ADF for every person who makes that submission? That's correct police became became suspicious once those claims were made in the court and this offender has now been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice because during the presiding magistrate took cognisance of the defence submission and as a result he received a sentence. What inquiries did you have to make to establish that he allegedly wasn't a member of the military? Did you have to interview defence people or just go through his history? No it was a police made those inquiries with the Australian defence services it was a relatively quick inquiry to establish. So what's likely to happen now given he has been sentenced is that correct over the Broad Beach brawl? He was sentenced he is he is now charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and falsely pretending to be a returned soldier. So will that sentencing be revoked and have to happen again? That'll be a matter for the courts. Are you concerned that more people are using this alleged excuse that there are a member of the defence force? Look we have two occasions in the last week where X CMD participants have used it we're aware of ongoing further investigations. Are there any other? There are ongoing further investigations. Are there a main participant in that Broad Beach riot? What I can say is that he was charged and he pleaded guilty to the offence of riot at Broad Beach. It might seem like a pretty obvious question but why is this offence so serious? Riot in the Broad Beach riot? Why not pretending to be a former soldier? Look it's a very un-Australian offence. We've had many diggers go overseas in relation to their duties as army officers and this is very brazen, un-Australian. The offence of attempting to pervert the course of justice carries a seven-year imprisonment. Can you potentially face the man tree extra time because he's a member of a biking group? In this instance we oppose bail because he was a participant, past participant of a criminal motorcycle gang. Can you tell us what sentence he got for the rioting? This offender received a sentence of 100 hours community service. The judge took into account that he said he was a former soldier so he took he was a more lenient. The magistrate took into account the defense submission. He said that there's further inquiries being made. Are there possible other people who are making this excuse? That's correct like the city CIB are conducting those inquiries. Task Force Maxima became involved because the one from three days ago was a ex Comanchero CMG member and today we have a ex bandido who was charged with the bandido riot along with 35 other bandidos. So we became involved in the investigation. Is there any CCTV? The release mentioned that there might be some from the loose. There is a small amount of CCTV footage from the arrest today. I believe that when he appeared in court he said that he was no longer a member of the bandido's criminal motorcycle gang. Or we couldn't prove any further participation. He was arrested at his place of employment. This fellow also claimed to be a member of the rural fire brigade and was worked within the on the Black Saturday fires. We have also disproved. We will allege that we've disproved that also. Why do you think they're using these alleged excuses? Do you think it's could be because they're looking for opinions in court? It's an opportunity to mitigate their sentence. In your opinion people that obviously pretend to be I guess heroes in our community, soldiers, rural fire, how would you describe that? Well I think it's very un-Australian. It's brazen the conduct that we're alleging. Did you tell us any more information if you have on this search warrant that was carried out at Gwydna? No, I've got no information in relation other than it's not CMG related.
