Police corruption

A drug dealer who incited a crooked Melbourne police officer to access intelligence from the force's computer network in exchange for the drug ice has been jailed.

Dean Andrew Murphy, 40, incited former senior constable David Branov, who was based at Fitzroy police station, to give him the address of a man he wanted to threaten over a soured drug deal in 2013.

Last week, Melbourne's Country Court heard that Murphy turned up at the man's home armed with a rifle and told his girlfriend, "I'm going to kill this c--- tonight."

The court also heard that Branov had been paid in drugs to tip-off police surveillance targets and hide warrants.
