Simon is a Sir Vincent Fairfax Fellow, former Homicide detective and corruption buster. He’s been bashed and threatened by bent cops and Gangland killers, carried a gun 24 hours a day, caught Top 10 most wanted and received multiple bravery awards.
Simon’s Police career was war. Corruption, criminals, Lawyer X. Eventually, he spoke out against a sick culture and quit the Force.
Simon finds trends and analyses crime.
In 2008, Simon analysed the Gangland killings and predicted the next murder in the Gangland War would be an ambush, on a Monday night, between 6pm and 9 pm, at close range, using a handgun while the victim entered or exited a car.
He was right.
In 2016 he wrote a Herald Sun opinion article telling the Government their new to***co tax increases will hand organized crime of hundreds of millions dollars, causing a turf war, arson, kidnapping and extortion.
He was right, again.
In 2020 he correctly predicted that a military trained sniper would be responsible for the long-range hit on Rebel’s outlaw motorcycle gang boss Nick Martin in West Australia.
Once a prolific keynote speaker, he’s knocked back every speech request for 7 years.
But he’s back, we welcome, Simon Illingworth.
