ICC chief prosecutor's wife Dato Shyamala Alagendra is alleged to have acted inappropriately after the claims against her husband were made.

Concerns have been raised at the highest levels of the court about her links to the UN watchdog.

The watchdog, the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), has been lined up to investigate the claims.

The external inquiry will examine the allegations against chief prosecutor Karim Khan .

Alagendra said she had never discussed the allegations with an alleged victim or with anyone from OIOS .

She added: “These allegations are extremely hurtful to me because all spheres of my life have been devoted to defending and upholding the rights of the vulnerable and disadvantaged’s.

Concern raised about his ties to the UN watchdog surfaced when it became known that the director of its investigations division previously worked closely with Khan at the UN .
