A report by the ICAC Inspector tabled in the Northern Territory Parliament has detailed why he cleared Commissioner Michael Riches of wrongdoing over his handling of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-wife.
NT ICAC Inspector Bruce McClintock has tabled a report detailing why Michael Riches cleared of wrongdoing over his handling of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-wife.
In relation to the allegations raised by Mr Riches’ ex-wife, Jennifer, Mr McClintock said it was impossible for him to determine if Mr Riches had engaged in controlling behaviour or domestic violence, as she had alleged in media reports and social media posts. “All that occurred was perfectly unexceptional settlement offers made by the lawyers for the two people in question,” he wrote.Mr McClintock said he had viewed vision from the security cameras at Mr Riches’ home, which Ms Riches’ alleged the Commissioner had used to feel uncomfortable, and to monitor her in the living and dining areas and the hallway.
“I consider Mr Riches’ explanation of the location of these cameras as for security purposes to be acceptable.”
