Andrew Fraser was a high profile Melbourne based lawyer sentenced to seven years imprisonment with a minimum period of five years imprisonment in 2001 for being knowingly concerned with the importation of a commercial quantity of cocaine. In 2006, Fraser was released two months earlier than his release date from Fulham Correctional Centre after agreeing to give evidence against serial killer Peter Dupas in his trial for the murder of Mersina Helvagis.[1] He applied for a share of a 1 million dollar reward for solving the murder .[2]
[edit] Television interview
In 2007, Fraser gave an interview on Andrew Denton Enough Rope and published a book entitled Court In The Middle, which is claimed to be "a true story of cocaine, police, corruption and prison". On both Enough Rope and in his book, Fraser alleges widespread drug use, labeling Fulham as "awash with drugs". He also alleges corruption within the Victorian Police and the Victorian Prison Service. Fraser admits in the book to being addicted to cocaine prior to his arrest, but claims that he has been clean ever since.
