The Office of the Special Investigator (OSI) and the Australian Federal Police have referred a matter to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) after concerns that details of Ben Roberts-Smith’s arrest were leaked to the media before it occurred. Officials say journalists appeared to have advance knowledge of the operation, with news crews present at Sydney Airport when Roberts-Smith arrived and was arrested. Authorities are now seeking to determine how the information was disclosed and whether any wrongdoing occurred within government or law enforcement channels.
