  • Interview with David Richardson on Matters Relating to ACSU – 20 May 2014
    Interview with David Richardson on matters relating to ACSU – 20 May 2014 Question 1 – What is the ICC’s reaction to the recent leaks of confidential information in respect of investigations into corrupt activity? Obviously the ICC considers any leak of any kind of information to be an extremely serious matter, particularly, as in this instance, when the nature of the information that has found its way to the media is highly confidential and has been provided in tightly controlled circumstances by individuals to the ACSU as part of ongoing investigations. We are taking all steps available to us to urgently investigate how certain information in the form of statements has come to find its way into the media, so that we can provide reassurances to the stakeholders within the sport so that they can continue to place their trust in the hands of the ACSU and the anti-corruption units of the respective Member Boards in protecting the integrity of the sport. However, given the nature and scope of the initial ACSU investigation to which this information relates, it was obviously necessary for certain parts of it to be provided to individuals outside of the ACSU, so that lines of inquiry could properly be completed. Naturally, nobody that did not ‘need to know’ that information was provided with any of it, so it is with grave disappointment that we find ourselves in this situation today. We do believe that the internal protection mechanisms in place were complied with in this case, and an investigation is underway that we hope will provide an explanation for how certain confidential information has arrived in the hands of the journalists.
