Subject: Official Information request - Costs of Prosecutions of Persons Involved with Political Parties

Dear Serious Fraud Office,

There have recently been three prosecutions of persons involved with political parties National, Labour and NZ First.

Please advise
i) The total cost of these prosecutions

ii) Identify the outside (non SFO) consultants, accounting experts and lawyers engaged in each of the prosecutions.

iii) Itemise the individual cost of each outside expert

iv) Provide any documents showing why the SFO required the engagement of outside expertise/consultants rather than use their own in-house expertise.

Yours faithfully,

Cam Slater
