This is a tragic miscarriage of justice. Those guilty should get at least 25 years plus the years these brothers lost. Half a million for each year served would be more around the mark and does not replace lost years imprisoned, found guilty.

The currupt policeman who "organised" that they be incarcerated, died and he only came clean and told what really happened from his point of view as he knew he was dying. trying to clear his conscience and get cosy with his God before he died. it sounds a lot, but it's only $500,000 each an if their brother was still alive, even less.
From 2002; "WA's Attorney-General Jim McGinty has announced that one of the key investigating officers in the 1982 Perth mint swindle has admitted that he and other police officers perjured themselves, fabricated evidence and used force to get confessions from the three men convicted of the crime, the Mickelberg brothers. Firstly, that the evidence that was given in the trial of the Mickelbergs was fabricated; secondly, that both he and others perjured themselves in not only the original trial but also subsequent Court of Criminal Appeal matters; thirdly that there was a physical assault on Peter Mickelberg by both he and Don Hancock.
