Australia - FOUR Finks bikie members have lost their appeals against sentences imposed for their refusal to answer questions from the state's corruption watchdog.
Troy Crispin Smith, Stephen Laurence Silvestro and Clovis Murhabazi Chikonga were sentenced to two years in prison for refusing to answer questions from the Corruption and Crime Commission over a brawl with bikies from the Coffin Cheaters at the Kwinana Motorplex in October 2010.
Fellow Fink Tristan Roger Allbeury was also sentenced to two years' jail for refusing to answer questions at the hearing and an additional three months for swearing at the then-commissioner Len Roberts-Smith.
The four bikies argued that their sentences were excessive compared to other sentences handed down for the offence.
Chikonga also argued that Chief Justice Wayne Martin erred in law by failing to give him credit for his guilty plea.
