It was a fiercely protected state secret in Israel. No-one dared speculate openly about the identity of an infamous mystery prisoner or even enquire about what he may have done. A blanket suppression order was issued on The Case of Prisoner X, even after his equally mysterious death in custody.
So who was he and what could he have possibly done to be jailed in a super-secure, stand-alone cell in a prison where his guards didn't even know his name? This Foreign Correspondent investigation uncovered the trail from Israel all the way to suburban Australia.
This Foreign Correspondent story was originally broadcast as “Prisoner X – The Australian Connection” on 12 February 2014.
