How elite agents went off the rails - Officers stand by claims of corruption in AFP John Kidman and Steve Barrett June 22, 2008 http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/06/21/...400.html?page=2 THEY were the untouchables, an elite band of Australian Federal Police, some of whom insiders say were no better than "gangsters with police badges".
