On 12 May 2020, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) inadvertently disclosed two documents to the defendants in the National Party donations case. Those documents contained confidential information regarding donors to the National Party in 2017 and 2018. They were disclosed in error during the course of the SFO’s compliance with its normal disclosure obligations.
The SFO did not become aware of the error until 26 July 2020, when Mr Ross reported that he was in possession of the documents and expressed an intention to refer to the documents in the House of Representatives and to take legal advice about releasing them publicly if that was unsuccessful.
