Drug bust 2020

Police Minister refutes drug bust claims

He has specifically responded to allegations made against him, the Commissioner of Police (CoP) David Manning, and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Donald Yamasombi.

The Minister said: “At this point I can confirm that, firstly, DCP Donald Yamasombi had no part in the drug smuggling operation or attempted to cover it up. This is confirmed by the fact Australian Federal Police (AFP) were aware of the persons involved, and DCP Yamasmobi was clearly not one of them, otherwise he would be the last person they would contact and share information with.
