A just completed court case has given a glimpse into life inside Melbourne?s underworld and it?s not pretty.
Damian Catania was a mid-level ?player? in the underworld, or at least enough of a player to once have been the victim of a drive-by shooting reportedly carried out by notorious gangland hitman Andrew ?Benji? Veniamin.
On Monday Catania was sentenced to a minimum of six years jail for pouring petrol over a man who had annoyed him and setting the victim alight, causing horrific burns.
But the details of Catania?s lifestyle that emerged during the trial were far removed from the glamorous image that?s been built up around Melbourne?s underworld during recent years.
Catania, 30, was an ex boxer who had a string of minor convictions, mostly for violence.
