Gary John Fahey, former executive officer to AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin, was summonsed to face court one week after the ABC put a series of written questions to AFP Media about allegations that Mr Fahey misused his corporate credit card.

The AFP said it did not comment on Professional Standards Investigations "for privacy reasons".

In a statement to the ABC, it said: "All allegations of criminal and serious misconduct are taken very seriously, regardless of the member's rank or position."

Mr Fahey, 40, of Moorooka in Queensland, will face the ACT Magistrates Court next Thursday.

According to the summons, Mr Fahey "dishonestly caused a loss to the AFP, knowing or believing that the loss would occur contrary to the Criminal Code".

The summons alleged that between August 2015 and November 2016, Mr Fahey defrauded the AFP at various locations including Canberra, Victoria, Sydney, Adelaide and Fortitude Valley in Brisbane.

According to his LinkedIn account, Mr Fahey has been executive officer to Mr Colvin since September 2014.

He describes his role as, "Manage the strategic, operational and risk priorities of the Office of Commissioner; deliver high level research and support service to the Commissioner; develop, monitor and review strategic initiatives; establish and maintain effective liaison with partners and key stakeholders within Government, national and international law enforcement and the private and public sector; analyse critical factors for the provision of personal and professional security to the Commissioner; provide close protection and security advice as required".

He is also managing director of a company called Phase Risk Solutions, "a global security consulting company focused on protecting people, property and reputation".

Mr Fahey began his career in the AFP as a surveillance officer, before moving to East Timor as a senior liaison officer, providing security and policing counsel to the Australian Head of Mission.

From 2003 to 2014, he worked in close personal protection teams including the Australian prime minister's protection team and the US secretary of state.

In 2011, he moved to Canberra as a senior project officer to the Deputy Commissioner, before joining the Commissioner's office in 2014.
