Roman Quaedvlieg says he is considering his legal options in the
wake of a finding by the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement
Integrity (ACLEI) that he acted corruptly while in his position as
the Commissioner of the Australian Border Force (ABF).
Claiming the process is 'deeply flawed,' Mr Quaedvlieg
also tried – and failed – to have a summary of the
ACLEI's findings suppressed, saying it was not in the public
interest to release them.
The Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity
(ACLEI)'s role is to detect, investigate, prosecute and prevent
corrupt conduct, and to maintain and improve the integrity of staff
members in law enforcement agencies. It is governed by two specific
pieces of legislation are the Law
Enforcement Integrity Commissioner Act 2006 and the Law
Enforcement Integrity Commissioner Regulations 2017
