A Commonwealth prosecutor twice raised fears a former immigration detainee would reoffend but did not oppose bail in the months before the man was accused of a brutal home invasion.
Following revelations Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan, 43, wasn’t wearing an ankle monitor at the time he was allegedly involved in the violent Perth home robbery on April 16, Immigration Minister Andrew Giles is now probing what led to a government-appointed panel advising he didn’t need to wear one in February.Alex Ellinghausen
Magistrate Tanya Watt told the former detainee he would still be behind bars had the Commonwealth not consented to his release.The curfew charges against Doukoshkan were withdrawn on March 22 because of a Commonwealth bungle over invalid bridging visas, however the former detainee – previously jailed over drug offences – allegedly went on to stage the home invasion with two other men.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles phoned a victim of the alleged home invasion Ninette Simons on Wednesday to offer his support, but has refused to comment on Doukoshkan’s conditions.
