The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is expected to provide an uncensored version of its submission to a public inquiry regarding Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef’s bungled case.
“AFP was compiling a public version of its submission that lacked sensitive information provided to them by the London Metropolitan Police Service,” said a Clarke inquiry spokesperson.
On Tuesday, AFP declined to clarify the apparent contradiction in remarks made by Commissioner Keelty.
Keelty had said the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO)— which repeatedly advised that Haneef was not a threat— did not have access to AFP’s information when it made its assessment. Moments later, Keelty said ASIO had “full access to the material the AFP has”.
Keelty said the AFP wanted to release its submission but the authority to publish it rested with the British police. On Tuesday, London Metropolitan Police spokesperson said British authorities were concerned that the information could “potentially compromise the integrity of those proceedings” and the trial of two men accused of involvement in the British attacks.
