Matthew C. Conway, the brother of Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway is one of three men who "initially gave false or misleading statements about what happened." And Matthew Conway was the prosecutor who was tipped off.
Jack Conway is the Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Kentucky. Matthew Conway had left the county attorney's office for the private sector by the time he learned of the first investigation in 2008.
From the Courier-Journal:
At the time of the second leak, in January of this year, Conway was an assistant commonwealth's attorney, a position he still holds.In an e-mail to the Courier-Journal, Jack Conway's office says the AG's involvement consisted only of telling his brother to seek legal counsel.
Ronald Russ and Scott Wilson, the two detectives accused of the leaks to Matthew Conway, have been placed in administrative jobs pending the outcome of an internal police inquiry into possible policy violations. Wilson told Conway of the first investigation, and Russ told him of the second one. The two investigations were prompted by separate allegations.
After a criminal investigation by police, the Jefferson County Attorney's Office decided in August that no charges would be filed against Conway, Russ, Wilson or a third narcotics detective, Chauncey Carthan, who was not involved in the leaks but was overheard discussing the second investigation in a restaurant last March.
Carthan's conversation was reported to Jack Conway, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, by a person supporting him. The brothers subsequently conferred with an attorney about the investigation of Matthew Conway, according to the investigative file.
