A man who allegedly supplied the gun used to kill NSW police accountant Curtis Cheng is now accused of refusing to answer a slew of questions from investigators, including requests for pass codes to an iPad and BlackBerry.
Counter-terrorism police swooped on Talal Alameddine in pre-dawn raids last year, weeks after he allegedly handed another man a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver that prosecutors say was then used by schoolboy killer Farhad Jabar to gun down Mr Cheng as he left police headquarters in Parramatta on October 2, 2015.
Alameddine, who is now being held on remand in the top-security Goulburn jail south of Sydney, was charged earlier this month with 20 counts of failing or refusing to answer questions in a NSW Crime Commission hearing.
Court documents allege the questions related to conversations between Alameddine and fellow suspects Raban Alou and Mustafa Dirani, and included a request by investigators for the pass codes to an iPad and a BlackBerry, and for information about the contents of a black bag.
