Summary

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Infamous corrupt NSW police officer, Roger Rogerson, has died this week at the age of 83 from suffering a brain aneurism.

 

Rogerson was serving a life sentence for the murder of a 20 year old Jamie Gao. His conviction for that murder was somewhat ironic, given he proudly boasted of killing three drug dealers during his police career and gotten away with it.

 

The true extent of Rogerson's corruption and criminal activities may now never be fully uncovered.

 

Ray Mooney, an author, playwright and former inmate of Pentridge Prison, joins us this episode to provide valuable insights into Rogerson's notorious legacy.
