Media Statement - Operation Rain
Friday, 29 August 2008
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) can confirm that today it advised Mr Rod Hodgson, Solicitor acting on behalf of Dr Mohamed Haneef, that the AFP has recently informed the Attorney-General and the Minister for Home Affairs that Dr Haneef is no longer a person of interest.
The AFP has concluded its active inquiries, although some long standing overseas inquiries are yet to be fully resolved. At the present time, there is insufficient evidence to institute proceedings against Dr Haneef for any criminal offence.
