After years behind bars for a crime he should never have been convicted of, Zlate Cvetanovski is going after the State of Victoria for damages over the embarrassing conduct of Victoria Police officers and disgraced barrister Nicola Gobbo.
He's filed a damages claim in the Supreme Court after his 2011 conviction for drug trafficking was overturned on the basis that Victoria Police knew and didn't tell him that Ms Gobbo - his barrister - was informing on him while also defending the key prosecution witness against him.
