A DISGRUNTLED AUSSIE WINE-GROWER PLOTS TO BOMB WINERY
Steven Bergamin, managing director of Bergamin Wines and Spirits, reportedly struck a deal with an undercover police officer to blow up Gapsted Winery as a payback for undercutting grape prices. Steven appeared in court today for allegedly plotting to blow up the winery between November 2002 and February 2003.
"I want the job done and I want it to look like terrorists have done it," Detective Senior Constable Damian Jackson said the 23-year old had told him.
The supposed plot was called off when the defendant discovered the winery was going broke, and told the undercover policeman that the problems was “now fixed.”
He is charged with inciting a person to destroy or damage property, and inciting a covert operative to destroy or damage property. The accused received bail and will appear at Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court on August 31.
