A corrupt detective has been jailed after he falsified evidence in a drug trafficking investigation which almost led to an innocent woman being thrown behind bars for crimes she did not commit.
Jye Symes, 37, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Melbourne's County Court today after he pleaded guilty to one charge of engaging in misconduct in public office.
The ex-detective had been leading a Victoria Police operation investigating an international drug ring that was trafficking illegal drugs and sending them inside children's toys through the post in 2019.
