TROY MERCANTI —
BAIL APPLICATION
434. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to reports that Magistrate
Matthews granted a bail application to repeat offender Troy Mercanti that was
opposed by WA Police and the response from the police commissioner that ''we
put our case forward as best as we could''.
(1) Do the terms of his bail oblige him to reside at
his mother's home, report to the Western Australia Police Force twice a week, pay a $100 000 personal undertaking and stay at least 500 metres
from the alleged victim, as has been reported?
(2) Was it open to WA Police to submit that he be
fitted with an ankle monitor, as has been suggested in reports?
(3) If yes to (2), did WA Police do
so?
(4) If no to (3),
would doing so have been the first time WA Police had made such a submission in
response to a bail application?
