McGurk plotters 'rowed over pay' THE men involved in the murder of Sydney businessman Michael McGurk dispute what happened to up to half a million dollars allegedly paid for his killing, a court has heard. Former boxer Fortunato "Lucky" Gattellari told a Sydney court yesterday he had received this money from the millionaire property developer Ron Medich, but there was little paperwork to document how it subsequently changed hands. Giving evidence at a committal hearing for Mr Medich, who is accused of plotting the 2009 shooting, Gattellari, 64, said he gave $300,000 of the money to another man, Senad Kaminic, to "pass on to the murderer." The two men subsequently fell out, the court heard. "Mr Kaminic was under the impression I kept some of the money Mr Medich paid me for the murder of Michael McGurk for myself," Gattellari said. Kaminic, a former Bosnian soldier who has pleaded guilty to being an accessory to the murder, has said Gattellari owed him $100,000 for an introduction to another man involved in the killing, Haissam Safetli. "I didn't pay Mr Kaminic anything for his part in the murder," Gattellari said. Safetli, who was convicted over the murder, received a $40,000 "loan" from Gattellari, the court heard. The former boxer also arranged for Safetli to buy a Ferrari worth $160,000 for substantially less than that. He organised insurance for the car, which was used to make a claim when it was written off. Neither the $40,000, the Ferrari nor a Honda Jazz Gattellari previously gave to Safetli could be traced back to Mr Medich, the court heard. Gattellari, who received a reduced sentence after pleading guilty to helping organise the killing, said he had previously lied about the role allegedly played by himself, Kaminic and Mr Medich. During a fierce courtroom exchange, Mr Medich's barrister, Winston Terracini SC, asked him: "Sir, how do we know when you lie?" "I don't know, you tell me," Gattellari replied.
