A lawyer for former LNP councillor Kate Richards, who was disendorsed by the party and referred to the Crime and Corruption Commission late last year, says the corruption watchdog will not pursue charges against her.

Criminal defence lawyer Terry O'Gorman, on behalf of Cr Richards, issued a statement on Friday morning saying the CCC had told Cr Richards that "there is not sufficient evidence to substantiate any allegations [against her] or [to] proceed with criminal offences against any person".

The LNP has repeatedly said any questions of criminality were for the CCC to decide, but the party had decided Cr Richards was not an appropriate candidate for their council team.

Cr Richards has long insisted she has been the victim of "white-anting" from within factions of the LNP, since she was disendorsed for her ward of Pullenvale in December.
