Episode Details

A former NSW Police officer has been found guilty of wilful misconduct for leaking restricted police data to a convicted drug dealer—accessing the dealer’s profile nine times and even advising him on how to evade detection. Despite claiming his actions were driven by personal trauma and occasional cocaine use, the jury rejected his defense, finding he deliberately abused his authority to assist a known criminal. With thousands of messages and shared trips between them, their close relationship underscores the severity of the breach. Hoogvelt now faces sentencing in Sydney District Court, where the full consequences of his misconduct will be decided.
