‘Mind-boggling’: Whistleblower reveals how global bikie boss won Nauru security deal

Whistleblower Exposes Bikie Gang’s Role in Nauru Security Deal

A former Australian soldier involved in the Albanese government’s deportation plan has called for an inquiry after uncovering that a criminal gang had infiltrated a key border security operation.

Security Contract Awarded to Finks Bikie Gang

Oisin Donohoe, interviewed by this publication and 60 Minutes, revealed that the Finks bikie gang secured a taxpayer-funded contract to provide security on Nauru. This contract involves overseeing former immigration detainees who are slated for deportation from Australia.

“Members of the Finks gang, led by their feared international president Ali Bilal, along with his associates, are part of the security operation managing the NZYQ cohort,” Donohoe stated.

Whistleblower’s Concerns Ignored

Donohoe reported the gang's involvement to the government, but his warnings went unheeded. He was one of several ex-military and law enforcement personnel recruited for the private, taxpayer-funded security operation. The first team was deployed from Brisbane last Thursday.

Security Operation Background

The operation was designed to assist both the Albanese and Nauruan governments in managing the deportation cohort nicknamed NZYQ. This is part of Australia's ongoing use of Nauru as a border security outpost.

Instead of traveling to Nauru, Donohoe chose to go public with his findings, expressing concerns about the integrity and safety of the operation.

Summary

This case highlights serious security lapses in a taxpayer-funded deportation program, with a notorious bikie gang embedded within critical border operations.
