17. There is much more to the story. Read the full Middle East Eye investigation here:.

16. Former ICC judge Carlo Tarfusser said he believed Khan was being made to pay a price for his “independence and intellectual honesty, together with his imperviousness to outside solicitations”.

15. Two former ICC judges have told us they have grave concerns about the way the UN investigation has been conducted, questioning why the prosecutor was publicly named as the subject of a complaint, and the need for an external investigation into his alleged misconduct.

14. As part of our investigation, we spoke to sources with knowledge of the affair and reviewed material understood to be relevant to the investigation into the allegations currently being conducted by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS).

13. We have contacted the people discussed in this story and their responses have been quoted in the full story, which I urge everyone to read:

12. This was just two weeks before Khan was forced to go on leave after it was publicly revealed that he was under investigation over sexual assault allegations. There is no suggestion of any connection between the Kaufman-Khan meeting and the publication of the allegations.

11. Khan was warned in May that if the arrest warrants were not withdrawn, he and the ICC would be destroyed. The warning was delivered by Nicholas Kaufman, a British-Israeli lawyer. He said he had spoken to Netanyahu’s legal advisor and was "authorised" to make him a proposal

10. A female ICC lawyer said a group of people within the ICC were working to discredit Khan. She said she was approached in May 2024 and asked if Khan had ever behaved inappropriately towards her: “I told them he is the last person on my list of men who would do that”.

9. Thomas Lynch, Khan’s special assistant, played a key role in making the allegations against Khan official. Privately however, Lynch had expressed his own doubts about the allegations to Khan’s wife and said that the timing was suspicious.

8. The complainant had previously sought and obtained Khan’s help in another complaint against a second senior ICC official. This was during the period in which she later alleged Khan had repeatedly sexually assaulted her

7. She wrote in May 2024 in text messages to Khan that there were “games being played” and attempts to make her a “pawn in some game I don’t want to play”. Two internal ICC investigations into the allegations were closed after she refused to cooperate with them.

6. We can reveal details about correspondence between Khan and the woman accusing him of misconduct, which appear to raise questions about some of the previously reported claims about the case.

5. Before the allegations were made, Khan had received a security briefing that indicated that Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, was active in The Hague and posed a potential threat to the prosecutor

4. In May 2024, US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threatened Khan with sanctions if he applied for the warrants.
