Nicola Gobbo begins giving evidence in Lawyer X civil suit against State of Victoria | ABC News

Описание: Nicola Gobbo, one of Victoria's most controversial legal figures, has spoken publicly for the first time in years to give evidence in her civil lawsuit against the State of Victoria.

She is suing the state, arguing Victoria Police officers acted negligently when they enlisted her as an informer, an arrangement that has caused ongoing mental and physical trauma.
