Af­ter al­most sev­en years the 'Email­gate' in­ves­ti­ga­tion is now said to be com­plet­ed and closed.

At the po­lice press brief­ing Wednes­day, act­ing As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent Michael Pierre re­vealed that the Po­lice Ser­vice has gath­ered ev­i­dence about the emails sent to cer­tain gov­ern­ment mem­bers in Sep­tem­ber 2012.

He says ser­vice providers were in­ter­ro­gat­ed as well as the de­vice of one in­di­vid­ual who was on the email thread.

ASP Pierre says the Fed­er­al Bu­reau of in­ves­ti­ga­tion con­duct­ed an in­ves­ti­ga­tion to fil­ter out any da­ta and that in­for­ma­tion was then sent to the TTPS.

Pierre said all ev­i­dence found in re­la­tion to Email­gate were care­ful­ly con­sid­ered by the of­fi­cer of di­rec­tor of pub­lic pros­e­cu­tions.

How­ev­er, the Of­fice of the DPP was not sat­is­fied with the ev­i­dence.

In 2013, then Op­po­si­tion Leader Dr Kei­th Row­ley pre­sent­ed a se­ries of print­ed emails to par­lia­ment un­der the cov­er of priv­i­lege.
