Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission boss Alan MacSporran has resigned after a parliamentary committee found he failed to ensure the watchdog “acted independently and impartially”.
This comes as criticisms of the CCC in the past weeks have led to a series of failed prosecutions, with the Parliamentary committee recommending a commission of inquiries into the CCC following failed prosecution of eight Logan city councillors.
Other concerns about the CCC in recent months have included the committees focus on high-level criminal investigations, rather than institutional corruption.
