A professional informant sued New Zealand police for breach of contract.
Claiming he was under-compensated after providing information about drug
and gun crimes. Even though a specific amount was never agreed on, the
man's lawyer, Paul Dale, said his client was promised enough money be a
female police detective to set himself up in a new life.
Instead, Dale pointed out, the man "recovered only about $6,000, and he
was left high and dry and has since had to leave the country because of
fear of retribution."
The man is seeking $220,000.
