On Thursday night IBAC released a statement saying: “IBAC investigated the matter, has written to Victoria Police and it is now closed.”

Mr Paterson is on leave from Victoria Police after he was informed his contract would not be renewed in February.

He has since lodged a complaint with IBAC alleging that his dismissal was unlawful.
