News about Martin Carter

Following their detentions in July this year, Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard Mark Burton, 23, and Martin Carter, 35, escaped Australia for the United Kingdom by using other people's passports. Tania Hird (pictured, right), the wife of AFL legend James, who allegedly paid $33,000 for repairs to their Toorak mansion's roof, which should have cost just $350, was one of the syndicate's victims. Johnny Cassidy, 21, (left), Mr Burton's younger brother, was arrested after attempting to obtain a new passport and was taken back into custody.
