Victoria Police has denied reports it is trying to "censor" a Sky News documentary that examines one of the state's biggest legal scandals.

Police wrote to the Rupert Murdoch-owned broadcaster ahead of Monday night's premiere of Lawyer X: The Untold Story to raise several concerns about the program. The documentary, hosted by Karl Stefanovic's brother Peter Stefanovic, promises to unveil new information in the case that has shaken Victoria's justice system.

Nicola Gobba has been revealed as Informer 3838.

But a Victoria Police spokesman said the law enforcement agency was not trying to censor the two-part series.

"There have been no efforts whatsoever to 'shut down' or stop the broadcast of the Sky News documentary," the spokesman said. "We contacted producers last week only because we wanted the opportunity to advise in advance of any details which, if broadcast, might inadvertently contravene court orders and increase the risk of serious harm to the safety of a number of people."
