The complainant has requested information about plea deal agreements from the Serious Fraud Office (‘SFO’). The SFO refused to provide the requested information, citing sections 31(1)(a), (b) and (c) (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the SFO was entitled to rely on the exemptions cited. No steps are required.
