  • Summary

  • George Freeman, a prominent Sydney figure, was a highly successful illegal bookmaker with extensive connections in organised crime. His empire, built through violence and corruption, involved phone betting, casinos, and race fixing, impacting police, the judiciary, and possibly politics. He maintained close relationships with other major crime figures and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle fueled by immense profits. Freeman's influence extended to resolving industrial disputes and even involved alleged participation in violent acts against those who threatened his power. Despite public accusations and investigations, Freeman largely evaded prosecution until his death in 1990.
