Australian publisher Hachette has withdrawn from publication the memoir of a retired police officer, after concerns were raised about its accuracy. Christophe Glasl spent 16 years in Victoria Police before writing his tell-all memoir, Special Operations Group, named after the elite force he was a member of for four years.
In one chapter, Glasl writes of his involvement in the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. But Victoria Police have said he was not involved in the response to Port Arthur – nor was he part of the Special Operations Group at the time.
