Seven’s African gangs broadcast was ‘inaccurate’, rules ACMA

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has ruled that Seven’s current affair program, Sunday Night, breached guidelines in a broadcast on July 8 2018 about ‘African gangs’.

The ACMA investigation found a claim broadcast in the program was inaccurate and in breach of the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice.

A Sunday Night reporter stated there has been a considerable increase in crime by “African gangs” and that they were responsible for “an alarming surge in violent crime” in Victoria.
