The new South Wales police said to sign NDA as part of the investigations on the caravan

The Australian Federal Police made a police officer of the New Wales of the South signs a non -disclosure agreement to receive crucial details on an investigation into a caravan charged with explosive Discovered on the outskirts of Sydney at the beginning of this yearThe state police commissioner said.

The authorities were notified in January of a dural caravan full of explosive mining powerger and a note that lists the objectives of the Jewish community, including the address of a synagogue.

The deputy police commissioner of the new South Wales, David Hudson, said on Monday to a state parliamentary investigation that was skeptical from the beginning that it was a terrorist plot in good faith because “it seemed too obvious in relation to the explosive notes of potential objectives and simply unusual”.

“The first suspicions I had had been in the afternoon when I was told – did not sit well,” he said.

Since then it has been revealed that the caravan was not linked to a planned anti -Semitic terrorism attack. Rather, the abandoned vehicle was part of an elaborate scheme presumably conceived by crime characters who tried to distract the police or use information about it in exchange for reduced prison terms.

The police of the New South Wales was part of a joint anti -terrorism investigation between the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Asio and the NSW Crime Commission established to find the people responsible for the caravan.

Despite the skepticism for the motivation behind the caravan full of explosives, the information that suggests that it was a terrorist attack flowed to investigators through the Australian Federal Police, Hudson said to the investigation.

“But the relationships received through the Australian Federal Police, which could not be ignored at the level in which it was provided, kept it at a level that was to be investigated by the joint anti -terrorism team,” he said.
