Response Statement
2002-4-12
In response to press enquiries, an ICAC spokesman today (Friday) confirmed that the Commission had mounted an operation commencing last evening in relation to allegations that some police officers were suspected to have corruptly connived at the stand-in arrangements in a traffic accident.
It was alleged that an artiste was suspected to be the actual driver involved in the traffic accident which occurred in March this year at Cotton Tree Drive, but arranged another man to claim to be the driver for police enquiry.
The artiste, the suspected substitute driver and a Police Constable were arrested by the ICAC on suspicion of corruption and perverting the course of public justice.
During the ICAC operation, three other police officers had also been interviewed to assist in the investigation.
Enquiries are continuing.
