He alleged with the officer's assistance he had the phone until December last year.
He also alleged the officer suggested he consider escaping.
"He also suggested that I could consider escaping to South America 'as many of the Nazis did following the Second World War'." "Those were his words," Smith said in his statement.
Smith was arrested at a Rio de Janeiro hostel, after fleeing New Zealand while on a 72 hour 'limited release' from Spring Hill Prison.
He alleged the officer provided him with a passport application, assisted with passport photos, then posted it once completed.

Smith said he felt "failed" by this officer.
"At the time that I was approached by this corrupt government official I was trying to address my offending in a treatment unit.
"I feel that government officials should be role models and that this officer had a responsibility to report me for what contraband I had, and to give me good advice for my future.
"I was failed in this regard."
Smith said there was "much more to this story" and said he was happy to discuss the matter with the Police.
Corrections northern regional commissioner Jeanette Burns said the claims haven't been substantiated, but have been passed on to police to investigate.
A police spokesman said they would not be making any comment at this stage.
Smith caught on camera at Auckland Airport as he flees the country.
