The Northern Territory's anti-corruption commissioner says his staff "must act with the utmost integrity" after police issued a woman with a notice to appear in court for alleged disclosure of confidential information.
Earlier today, NT Police said detectives from the Special References Unit had executed a warrant and seized a 23-year-old woman's mobile phone on June 3.
Detectives conducted the operation after receiving a referral from the Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption, NT Police said.
The woman was served with a notice to appear in court on July 19 for two alleged offences, including disclosure of confidential information and unauthorised disclosure of information obtained in the course of performing a function.
ICAC boss Michael Riches later issued a press release in which he reiterated a previous statement he made after commencing in his role last year.
"Anyone who cannot, or will not, meet that expectation has no place in my team.
"Where allegations of impropriety are made about my staff or me, they will be taken seriously.
"It matters not to me who made the allegation [nor] the circumstances in which the allegation is made.
"What matters to me is the integrity of this office, which must be above reproach."
Today, he said: "My position has not changed."
Mr Riches and NT Police have not disclosed what the confidential information related to.
"I will not comment further while judicial proceedings and disciplinary processes are [underway]," Mr Riches said.
Under the ICAC Act, if a person is found guilty of disclosing confidential information, he or she faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison.
