Description: The ABC has obtained documents revealing that the Northern Territory's Anti-Corruption Commissioner agreed to pay his estranged wife $20,000 at the same time she withdrew a domestic violence order against him. Emails show Michael Riches' lawyers suggested such an order would have jeopardised his employment and forced him to resign from his ICAC role. Sitting down with the ABC, Jennifer Riches says the alleged emotional abuse drove her to take action and leave the Territory.
