The NSW Police Commissioner is fuming over suggestions by the Opposition that he has been directed by the Government to "go softly on criminals of Middle Eastern background" responsible for revenge attacks after the Cronulla riots.
Ken Moroney thumped a podium during a press conference yesterday, saying he was "personally and professionally offended" by the "outrageous slur" by the Opposition Leader, Peter Debnam.
However, Mr Moroney did acknowledge that the investigation may be hindered due to a lack of evidence because people were too fearful to provide witness statements against those involved in the revenge attacks at Maroubra and Brighton following the December 11 riots.
The Herald understands this includes a prominent criminal from south-west Sydney.
