Secrets of War
60 Minutes
It's not pleasant busting a long-held myth about a much-admired and highly-decorated veteran of the Afghanistan war. But Australia really needs to know the truth about VC recipient, Ben Roberts-Smith. For the last three years he's been under police investigation, accused of war crimes. The former soldier emphatically denies any wrongdoing, repeatedly saying he has nothing to hide about his time in Afghanistan. But tonight, 60 MINUTES, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age newspaper reveal startling new information that will shock the nation. It's about Roberts-Smith's efforts to conceal evidence and threaten SAS witnesses who dared to stand up to him.
