The federal government rang up more than $1.4 million in legal costs during the failed prosecution of retired vice-admiral Mark Norman.
Revealed this week by Justice Minister David Lametti in a written response to a question from the official Opposition Conservatives, the figure is the first indication of the financial price of the high-profile and politically charged case.
Lametti did not provide any further details about the costs — including whether the figure included Norman's legal fees, which the government has said it would pay.
