Policemen hoped to sell seized

The New South Wales Police Integrity Commission has found two Liverpool detectives engaged in police misconduct by seizing drugs and illegal tobacco with the intention of selling them.

Naasser Mohammad Battal and a second officer code-named LP1 were removed from the police force earlier this year when they were charged with a number of offences including theft and corruption.

In a report tabled in parliament the Police Integrity Commission says the pair carried out fake searches of tobacconists where they seized illegal tobacco which they later planned to sell.

The commission says they also took corrupt payments from tobacconists by telling them they could make the investigation "go away".

The report also shows the two seized drugs on at least three separate occasions with the intention of selling them and sharing the proceeds with a third man.

The commission has today recommended a new charge be laid against Battal - that of possessing a prohibited weapon.
