Dallas Fitzgerald

THE son of the boss of the Hells Angels bikie gang was yesterday behind bars after he was found guilty of an elaborate criminal conspiracy.
A 12-member jury in the Downing Centre District Court yesterday found that Dallas Fitzgerald, 30, supervised the laundering of $20 million through Hong Kong.
The money was part of $150 million in superannuation funds stolen from JP Morgan on Christmas Eve in 2003. The jury found that Fitzgerald, the son of bikie boss Felix Lyle, was a key player in the scam, which was headed by Sydney underworld figure Tony Vincent.
Fitzgerald, who could face up to three years in jail, will reappear in court for sentencing on July 1.
He was refused bail because he was a flight risk and had been caught with fake identification with a different name, the prosecution said.
