There were plans to detain Mohamed Haneef under the Migration Act if he was released on bail, his lawyer says.
There were plans to detain Mohamed Haneef under the Migration Act if he was released on bail, his lawyer says.
The lawyer representing former Gold Coast-based doctor Mohamed Haneef, Peter Russo, says he has proof the Federal Government and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) conspired against his client.
Mr Russo used freedom of information laws to obtain copies of emails sent by the AFP before Dr Haneef's bail hearing in Brisbane.
He says the emails clearly indicate Dr Haneef would be detained under the Migration Act if he was granted bail.
Mr Russo says it undermines the assertion of Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews that revoking Dr Haneef's visa was unrelated to the court decision.
"Andrews may say that he didn't take any of that information into consideration to give it some balance, but it doesn't read that way," he said.
