SFO director, Julie Read, has made calls to senior Government officials about an investigation which largely cleared a company, closely tied to Team New Zealand.
After days of refusing to comment on its handling of whistleblower complaints about America's Cup Event Limited, which is largely funded by taxpayers, MBIE confirmed its chief executive has spoken to the SFO.
MBIE has refused to answer questions about whether it provided material to police or the SFO, or if the SFO requested it to provide information.
