The New South Wales law enforcement watchdog has reopened its investigation into former police commissioner Mick Fuller, after its own oversight body disputed findings clearing him of misconduct over undeclared racehorse shares.

Mr McClintock's examination of the LECC investigation came after an ABC complaint to him about the commission's report.

According to the Operation Kurumba report, Mr Fuller said he also submitted a declaration in 2017, the year he became commissioner, but neither the LECC nor the government could locate such a document. Barrister John Agius SC said it was "terribly important" that Mr Fuller declared his involvement in the horseracing industry to remove any perception of a conflict of interest.

Among the co-owners were leaders in industries declared "high-risk" by NSW Police for conflicts of interest, including liquor, gaming, racing and security. One of the co-owners became a suspect in a high-profile NSW Police fraud investigation but was not charged. Another was charged over an illegal asbestos dump, but the prosecution was abandoned last year.
