It obviously didn't happen but you gotta give them some poetic licence. It's not hugely important.

Went to a dinner the other night held by the head of intelligence in the Purana team. He retold the whole story with Crime scenes photos of Dino Dibras hit (Police suspected two shooters instead of just Benji), photos of Marc Morans hit (Shot while getting into his car) video footage of Jason Morans hit from security cameras from the hotel, Photos of Williams in hospital after he was shot, audio of the the hit the running man did on the hot dogs vendor (Michael Marshall* from memory, 52 seconds from when he got out of the car to when he got back in 350 metres away). Really interesting, they are planning to do more I recommend it highly.

Anger over Gatto event

• Cameron Houston
• August 27, 2008

UNDERWORLD figure Mick Gatto has been accused of pressuring businessmen, builders and trade unionists to attend a charity event that will finance the legal defence of accused murderer Faruk Orman.
The fund-raiser has infuriated police and victims-of-crime organisations, which say Orman should pay his own legal costs.
Orman is charged with the murder of notorious armed robber Victor Peirce in 2002.
Tickets for the gala dinner at the Docklands' Atlantic function room on September 17 cost $1000, with the event expected to raise more than $500,000 to cover the fees of high-profile defence barrister Robert Richter, QC.
It includes a three-course meal and entertainment by singer Vanessa Amorosi. Cricket legend Shane Warne and boxing great Jeff Fenech are believed to have donated memorabilia for an auction.
But several people approached by Mr Gatto said they were reluctant to pay for Orman's high-profile defence.
"To be honest, I don't want to stump up $10,000 for a bloke I've never met. And there's no way I want to be seen at something like that," one businessman said.
He said Mr Gatto had "put the hard word" on several business associates over the past two weeks.
A member of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union said he would not be attending but knew several union officials who had bought tickets.
"I don't want to say too much, but there will be a few union blokes heading along,' he said. "But it really has nothing to do with the union; it's more them supporting Mick."
Senior detectives are understood to be furious that a host of well-connected business and sporting figures have agreed to finance the defence.
Last night, Mr Gatto denied pressuring anyone.
"All the people that are coming are coming because they're friends of mine and they support an innocent man," he said.
"It's completely lawful what we're doing, and I do it with my head held high. We look after our friends, we don't hang them out to dry."
Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara was outraged by the event.
"It's a bloody disgrace. He (Orman) is entitled to a defence, but why should he get the best defence available?" Mr McNamara said.
Mr Richter was not concerned that his legal fees would be funded by the dinner. "Providing funds for the defence are raised by legitimate means, I don't inquire as to how," he said.
Orman is awaiting trial for the murder of Victor Peirce, who was shot as he sat in a car in Bay Street, Port Melbourne, in 2002.
Mr Gatto was recently implicated in Peirce's murder after claims in the Melbourne Magistrates Court that he had also ordered the murder of Frank Benvenuto in 2000.
A police informer said in court in March: "About two years after Frank's murder, Andrew (Veniamin) said he heard Peirce had found out it was him who had killed Frank and he was worried that Peirce was going to get revenge on him and Mick Gatto."
Mr Gatto has denied any involvement with the two murders.
Orman was also at La Porcella restaurant when Mr Gatto killed underworld hitman Veniamin, and later gave evidence at Gatto's trial. Mr Gatto was acquitted over Veniamin's death.

convertxtodvd is the best one to use.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

thanks mate, what limitations does the trial software have?

Does it have a big watermark on it or something?

 

[HBF]

Is anyone in Melbourne going to watch this tonight?

Have already seen the series, but might tune in anyway.

Probably not as most people in Melbourne would of watched an illegal copy of it by now

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

It will be interesting to see the ratings actually, surely they will be below the network expectations.

Dunno i still reckon it will rate very well...

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Dunno i still reckon it will rate very well...

With the other shit that is on TV why not watch it?

 

[angel_mmkay]

I've seen all the episodes and it's an awesome show, I have also heard that they are making a second season to do with Sydney during the 70's.

 

[nicko99]

lol at tony mokbels face being blured

 

[Cruiser23]

Already seen it, just tuned in anyway, what's the go with blurring Tony Mokbels (Robert Mammone) face?

 

[wally funk]

legal reasons, presumably, since he's due for trial.

 

[Hawks1523]

Lol at blurring him out. We all know who it's supposed to be, blurring his face does nothing.

 

[gerta]

And then in the final scene at the funeral they don't pixelate him out??? lol

 

[gerta]

He had sunnies on, you know.

hahah

I think it's Sydney and Melbourne but focusing on Sydney and set in the '70s & '80s.

I'm in Brisbane but i saw the edited version on Rove tonight

 

[rupert pupkin 87]

Mokbel's face would have been blurred with Carl as that scene about drugs probably has something to do with his trial while attending a funeral would have nothing to do with the trial.
First time I've seen Underbelly, couldn't be bothered downloading it as I know the story already. It's alright. Vince Colosimo was great. The guy playing the detective is awful. Did Jason Moran really kill Gangitano though, I've read that when he was supposed to kill Carl he couldn't do it. He was a thug but couldn't kill anyway. I've heard Mark or Benji killed Gangitano

 

[HBF]

Lol at blurring out Tony's face in Underbelly tonight. Still, well worth seeing it again.

 

[Kerrby]

I've seen the first four episodes and they're great.

LOL @ the face being blured.
