What's more dangerous than a life of crime? The life of a criminal informant. As they balance volatile relationships with criminals and law enforcement, they must probe for information without raising any red flags — all while knowing that even the tiniest slip-up could get them killed. So, why do they do it? For the greater good? For personal gain? The answers are as complicated as the double lives they lead. Hosted by famed attorney, author, and television producer Marcia Clark, Informants: Lawyer X reveals the story of Nicola Gobbo, a defense attorney who represented the key players in Australia's violent gang wars. As she appeared to become one of the gang, no one could have predicted she would turn into a police informant, selling out the very people she swore to defend. But then when the Lawyer X scandal exploded across headlines, Nicola's duplicity against Australia's most dangerous criminals and toughest cops was made public, ultimately putting her life and the lives of her children on the line. She is now in hiding, while the Australian police and legal community have to pick up the pieces and regain the public's trust.

What a twisted tale and what clear, concise telling of it! Excellently done in every way. I wish more cases were unfolded like this, so educational and interesting. The only thing that made me tilt my head was any sympathy directed Gabbo’s direction. The only thing that woman is a victim of is her own personality disorder.
This podcast was definitely a page turner. It incited me to do a bit of research on my own. After hearing the story from various outlets. It struck me that the overall depiction of. Nicola was one of a complete narcissistic taker. I’m not necessarily saying this is totally untrue, I just feel like there’s not a lot of criticism of the Victorian police department. We all know that the police can be shady. She was an informant for 4 years. It’s hard to believe that the police weren’t threatening her to stay in as an informant. Marcia Clark’s judgment and utter distain for Nicola shines brightly throughout the podcast series.
Well done and engaging story that you won’t want to stop listening to.
