Former cop Dale 'a good liar' FORMER detective Paul Dale maintained a secret relationship with Carl Williams for corrupt reasons that had nothing to do with the "sheer pleasure" of being in the gangland killer's company, a court has heard. Final submissions in the Victorian Supreme Court case against Mr Dale, who is fighting charges that he lied about his relationship with Williams, yesterday saw the ex-drug squad police officer described as a "bad cop, good liar" who had kept the relationship alive because of the benefits it offered.
