\nMay 2, 2011<\/p>\nA FORMER policeman charged with leaking information to an alleged criminal has been allowed to travel overseas.<\/p>\n
Robert David Critchley, 42, appeared in the Perth Magistrate’s Court today to appeal the terms of his bail so he could visit an ill member of his wife’s family overseas.<\/p>\n
Mr Critchley will pay a $2,500 deposit to have his passport returned to him, and he has 48 hours once he arrives back in Perth after the 12-day trip to hand the travel document in. <\/p>\n
The 42-year-old served as a police officer in the state intelligence crime division but resigned in September last year after Police Commissioner Karl O’Callaghan recommended he be dismissed.<\/p>\n
He is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice by allegedly passing on information that could interfere with police investigations when he attempted to warn a man in the neo-nazi organisation Combat 18 that he was under surveillance.<\/p>\n
It is also alleged separately that he accessed people’s details on a police computer database without authorisation three times between May 2009 and January 2010. <\/p>\n
He will face court again on May 27.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
