Nicola Gobbo, who has already cost Victoria Police millions in a legal settlement and thousands in living expenses for everything from cigarettes to concert tickets, is set to sue the force once again.

The supergrass will pursue Victoria Police for millions of dollars in compensation for a second time and has already briefed a legal team to launch civil action after the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants is finalised in July 2020.

Victoria Police has paid millions of dollars to Nicola Gobbo and is still paying ongoing living expenses while she is in hiding overseas.

Ms Gobbo received $2.88 million in 2010 to settle a lawsuit against Victoria Police but is preparing to file a new claim over the force's failure to protect her identity from exposure after three failed court proceedings, which forced her to flee into exile overseas with her two children.



Tim Tobin, SC, is expected to represent Ms Gobbo, while a Melbourne-based solicitor has also been approached.
