an aggravated hate crime following an alleged incident at Brisbane Synagogue. A 32-year-old Matthew Alexander Donald De Campo has been granted bail after allegedly reversing his vehicle into the front gates of Brisbane Synagogue in February. De Campo is charged with wilful damage as an aggravated hate crime and intends to contest the allegations at trial.
Prosecutors allege he deliberately rammed the synagogue gates while experiencing delusional behaviour and displaying a broader preoccupation with religion. During bail proceedings in the Supreme Court of Queensland, defence lawyers argued that De Campo was under the influence of mathamphetamine and cannabis at the time and sought his release into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. A psychiatric assessment presented to the court concluded that he was likely suffering from drug-induced psychosis during the incident but no longer showed ongoing psychotic symptoms.
The report described him as highly motivated to undertake rehabilitation. Justice Soraya Ryan granted bail on the condition that De Campo be admitted to a substance abuse treatment facility. The matter is scheduled to return to the Brisbane Magistrates Court in July.
