MELBOURNE - Two senior Victoria Police figures are expected to return to the witness box today to answer corruption allegations that already have forced one officer to resign.
Assistant Commissioner Noel Ashby quit on Friday after three days of explosive evidence implicated him in a Victoria Police corruption
scandal.
He is expected to take the stand briefly today at the Office of Police Integrity (OPI) inquiry.
Counsel assisting the inquiry Greg Lyon SC indicated on Friday that he may have a few outstanding questions to ask the disgraced former policeman.
Media director Stephen Linnell will then return to the witness box for a second day of grilling, before Police Association secretary Paul Mullett is called to give evidence.
The hearings, before delegate Murray Wilcox, are expected to last several more days.
The OPI is examining leaks over a botched secret police taskforce investigating police links to a 2003 murder.
The taskforce, dubbed Operation Briars, is investigating claims a police officer gave the address of slain male prostitute Shane Chartres-Abbott to a hitman.
The leaks resulted in the police suspect being tipped off about the investigation.
