Summary: The complainant requested information about whether the Serious Fraud Office (the SFO) has investigated a named individual in connection with criminal activity. The SFO refused to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information, citing several exemptions, including section 40(5). The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the SFO correctly applied section 40(5)(b)(i) to the request. Consequently, he has not considered the application of further exemptions.
