«Breaking News» Detention centre guard denies harbouring illegal immigrant she later married

A detention centre guard who fell in love with and later married a detainee is accused of harbouring him while he was on the run from authorities.

Adriana Martinovic, 40, was a guard at Villawood Immigration Detention Centre when she met Aziz Ali Abdulkader, who had arrived from Chad without the correct visa.

Mr Abdulkader was taken to hospital in Toowong, Queensland, on January 21, 2014, after being told his father had died.

Aziz Ali Abdulkader arrived in Australia from Chad. He escaped from detention while being transferred to hospital and fathered a child (both pictured) to guard Adriana Martinovic

Adriana Martinovic was employed by Serco at the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre when she gave Aziz Ali Abdulkader her phone number. They are now married with a child

He soon fled and called Martinovic, telling her he had been freed on the advice of a doctor and granted a visa. 

Martinovic drove a hire car from Sydney to Queensland, picked up Mr Abdulkader from the hospital and took him back to a friend's house.

She later signed a lease for a home at Greenacre in Sydney's south-west and after several months she fell pregnant with Mr Abdulkader's child.

Martinovic was in hospital to give birth when Mr Abdulkader was arrested and taken into custody on October 29, 2014.

She was eventually charged with harbouring an unlawful non-citizen.

'He told me he had a visa and I believed him,' Martinovic later told police, according to Fairfax Media.

Adriana Martinovic has pleaded not guilty to harbouring an unlawful non-citizen. She was employed by private contractor Serco when she fell in love with Aziz Ali Abdulkader

Barrister Jeffrey Clarke said: 'Human nature means you don't know where you're going to meet the person who you think is Mr Right or Ms Right.' Pictured is Villawood detention centre

Martinovic has been on trial in the Downing Centre District Court where she has pleaded not guilty and a jury began deliberations on Friday.

Her barrister Jeffrey Clarke told the jury last week the case was a 'love story' which began in a place not known for romance.

'In today's climate it's online, it's Tinder,' Mr Clarke said. 'You meet your partners everywhere.

'Human nature means you don't know where you're going to meet the person who you think is Mr Right or Ms Right.'

Crown prosecutor Adrian Williams used the love story angle to suggest Martinovic had a motive for unlawful behaviour.

'It is a love story, if that's what you will,' he said.

'Her hope of a future and having a family with this man led her to do things that she wouldn't have otherwise done.'

Martinovic had given Mr Abdulkader her mobile phone number while he was in custody and it was 'incredible' to think Ms Martinovic believed he had later been legitimately freed.

'The accused was not some ill-informed outsider or naive about such things,' Mr Williams said.

'She didn't give her number to any other detainee. She was so annoyed at contact from other detainees that she reported it.'

Mr Clarke told the jury his client was in love with Mr Abdulkader and would have accepted what he told her. 

'The reality is that, when you meet someone new, at the beginning, you are into that person very much, and you do tend to believe, in my suggestion, what people say,' he said.

'Do you remember being excited, ladies and gentlemen, when you first started your relationship? The heart skips a beat.' 

Martinovic and Mr Abdulkader married in 2015 and he has obtained a spousal visa to live in Australia.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
