Williams attempted to
have policeman Mick Drury assassinated so that he would not give evidence to
sink the Williams heroin empire.
He had sold heroin to Drury, who was
working undercover, at the
Old Melbourne Hotel.
When police swooped for the arrest,
Williams was startled by the screeching tyres of an over anxious police officer.
A former champion footballer, Williams legged it, outrunning police.
It has been alleged that , Williams'
friend, big
time speed dealer John
William Higgs, was
involved in the killing of two people over the Drury deal.
 Notorious
hitman Chris Flannery
(left of pic), a friend of Williams',
is believed to have shot Mr Drury on June 6, 1984, to prevent him giving
evidence against Williams.
Williams later testified that Flannery
had attempted to bribe Drury through corrupt Sydney detective, Roger
Rogerson in order to get the charges against Williams dismissed.
When Drury rejected repeated attempts at bribery,
Williams claimed, he agreed to pay Flannery
and Rogerson $50,000 each to murder Drury.
On what he thought was his deathbed, Drury told
detectives he believed he was shot because of "the Melbourne job."
Allan Williams passed away at the
age of 49 on August 28, 2001.
He apparently died from hepatitis
many raising the question as to whether or not this was caused by syringe use.
