Witnesses to be called this time around include Detective Sergeant Paige (a pseudonym), Detective Senior Sergeant White (a pseudonym) and former Victoria Police Officers James O’Brien and Gavan Ryan.
The recommencement of the RCMPI comes after one of Ms Gobbo’s former clients, Faruk Orman, had his murder conviction overturned by the Court of Appeal on Friday.
The court found the information which led to Mr Orman’s conviction was contaminated by Ms Gobbo, who during this time was also acting as an informer for Victoria Police.
