Description
Screentime Australia for Nine Network
Inspired by actual events, Informer 3838 tells the untold story of the dangerous double life of Nicola Gobbo, the youngest female barrister in Victorian history, who against all the rules informed police on the very gangland criminals she was defending.
Nicola had the ultimate trust of Melbourne’s underworld and was gangland’s go-to defence lawyer, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Carl Williams, Tony Mokbel, the Morans, the Carlton Crew and Roberta Williams. While she knew the underworld’s dirty secrets, they had no idea of hers. Set against the backdrop of the Melbourne gangland war, this explosive drama is the story of the greatest legal scandal Australia has ever seen. Informer 3838 is a sophisticated and complex character study of a remarkable woman operating in a heavily masculine world under extraordinary circumstances.
The series sees the return of some members of the Underbelly crew with Gyton Grantley reprising his role as Carl Williams and Robert Mammone again playing Tony Mokbel.
