The Lawyer X royal commission hears Tony Mokbel cried continually after being arrested in Athens in 2007.

The former head of the Purana anti-gangland taskforce, Jim O'Brien, told Tuesday's inquiry he received all her information but never used it."I mean, I was under no illusions. He'd already said what he was going to do."

Ms Gobbo hoped the plan would hide the fact she was a police informer and hurt Mokbel's attempts to avoid being returned to Australia. The meeting was on the day of the arrest of his associate Faruk Orman for the 2002 murder of Victor Pierce. In his police diary, Mr O'Brien noted that Ms Gobbo's handlers had passed on information about the meeting.

Everyone deserves to live with dignity, irrespective of age.
