Corrective Services NSW - allegations concerning activities officer (Operation Drake)
The ICAC investigated allegations that Karaha Pene Te-Hira, an activities officer employed by Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW) at the Long Bay Correctional Complex Metropolitan Special Programs Centre (MSPC), trafficked mobile telephones and accessories, sports shoes, steroids and other contraband into MSPC over the past three years in return for corrupt payments from inmates or family members or associates of inmates.
In its report on the investigation, made public on 25 January 2013, the Commission makes corrupt conduct findings against Mr Te-Hira, Omar Zahed and Asmahen Zahed. The Commission is of the opinion that the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions should be sought with respect to the prosecution of Mr Te-Hira for offences of corruptly receiving a reward. The Commission has made five corruption prevention recommendations to CSNSW to help minimise and prevent the recurrence of such behaviour.
