If not, Mokbel tells the police he is prepared to tie up the court system, including his own case, which he thinks he can drag out for 10 years. Mokbel: "Because I think it'll give peace to the streets, number one … like we go and do a little bit of time and leave the streets to youse." Tony Mokbel: "If we nod our heads to some of these charges, are youse prepared to nod ya head" Mokbel tells the police three of his associates would be willing to go to jail if it would end the drug war. Mokbel offers to 'nod our heads' to charges The hearings are now focusing on the help Ms Gobbo gave police during Melbourne's infamous gangland wars, which saw a swathe of criminals murdered across Melbourne - something the transcripts show Mokbel was trying to stop. The commission is looking into how Victoria Police used barrister Nicola Gobbo, also known as Lawyer X or Informer 3838, as a human source. That conversation was secretly recorded and a transcript has now been released by the Royal Commission Into the Management of Police Informants. Mokbel tells them he was "relieved" when underworld figure Mick Gatto killed his associate Andrew "Benji" Veniamin, and he goes on to defend the 2003 public murder of his rival Jason Moran. The police are there to get information about gangland murders. In the candid and colourful conversation with Detective Sergeant Martin Robertson and his colleague, who can't be named, Mokbel proposes his radical plan that he says will ease the pressure on a court system in "turmoil" and bring "peace to the streets".
