A FORMER Australian Federal policeman turned Australian Taxation Office investigator has been jailed for receiving money, first class travel and other gratuities during corrupt dealings with the illegal tobacco industry.

Judge Joe Gullaci today told Philip James Roper, 52, that he was motivated by greed to assist and tip off criminals involved in the “chop chop” trade between 2001 and 2004.

Roper was found guilty of dishonestly asking for and receiving a benefit, and theft.

Judge Gullaci said Roper met a chop chop identity at the Gotham City brothel and agreed to protect and help the criminal continue his illegal activities in exchange for money.

According to the criminal, he provided Roper with names and addresses of other chop chop competitors to eliminate them as competitors.

Roper was also involved in the sale of stolen tobacco leaf.

Roper had pleaded guilty to receiving a benefit and abusing public office.

Those offences related to a supermarket manager who sold chop chop from the store, and the manager’s wife who sold the gear at suburban markets.

Judge Gullaci said Roper helped stall an investigation and provided tip-offs about surveillance in exchange for first class travel to China.

Roper had abused his position of trust and power and destroyed his own good reputation, the judge said.

Judge Gullaci said the courts had to denounce such corrupt conduct.

He took into account Roper’s clean record, family support and good prospects of rehabilitation.

The judge sentenced Roper, a married father, to 30 months’ jail.

Roper will be released on a bond after serving 14 months.
