OPERATION PLAYBOY 2

been working a sting with the cops from the start – probably after being busted for something earlier.

In hindsight, he felt there were many clues. The horse had called Andre’s mobile twice the morning before his flight, despite Andre explicitly telling him not to. Andre felt sure this was to prove the connection. ‘I didn’t answer. I think, why is this motherfucker calling me?’ During the organisation of the run, he’d persistently phoned, asking Andre to come to help him pack. ‘All the time the guy tried to push me to get together with him, but I was always, stay away, stay away. I say, “I don’t put my hand in this shit, man, I don’t go to your place, somebody will deliver it to you.”’

Andre had also given the horse a cheque to buy his airline ticket, insisting he must change it at the petrol station first. But he didn’t; he used it at a travel agent to pay for his flight. This was evidence later used against Andre. He felt Chief Caieron had left nothing to chance; believed he’d pushed the horse to gather as much hard evidence as possible.

Caieron hadn’t wanted to lose Andre again. He didn’t. Andre went straight back to jail on a Friday, 19 weeks after he’d walked free by buying bail.

We never had any kind of doubt that Andre would come back to this kind of activity. So, we restart our investigation and waited for his next move. We’re right.

It’s like a personal game between me and this guy Fernando Caieron. This is a real playboy; the chief. This is personal between him and me.
