The Australian Crime Commission has ended its criminal investigation into Crocodile Dundee actor Paul Hogan’s tax affairs.
In a statement released today the commission said the investigation was no longer in the public interest and there wasn’t enough chance of getting a conviction.
“It is the ACC's assessment that continuing with its investigation of Mr Hogan and (Mr Hogan's manager) Mr (John) Cornell is not justified in the public interest having regard to a range of factors," the statement said.
Mr Hogan has been in a long-running battle with the ACC and the Australian Tax Office over his tax arrangements.
Earlier this year the actor was briefly banned from leaving Australia by the ATO, which according to Australian media reports is likely to continue its own investigation into Mr Hogan.
Mr Hogan has strongly denied allegations of tax evasion, saying he has already paid his fair share of taxes in Australia.
